The
brilliant silver undersides to the leaves, coupled with white resin coated
buds and a compact growth habit make this an outstanding Christmas tree.
It is a native of Korea and a few offshore islands, mature tree grows to
10 metres. Introduced in 1913.
Fraser Fir
Abies fraseri
This
fast-growing, fragrant foliaged tree is one of the most important Christmas
trees in the USA. It grows in the wild only on a few mountain tops in
the southern range of the Appalachian Mountains, where a mature tree grows
up to 15 metres tall.
Douglas Fir
Pseudotsuga menziesii
Its
natural home is the mountains of western north America from British Columbia
to central California, where it grows to a height of 60 metres. Growers
can prune it to produce very dense symmetrical Christmas trees but unfortunately
Douglas fir is susceptible to aphid attacks.
