Real Christmas Trees - A Natural Choice in the Pacific Northwest.
In addition to the aesthetic and aromatic values of a real Christmas tree there are also the Ecologic values of all the carbon sucked out of the air while these grow, and all of the carbon that will be absorbed by the next crop of trees that will be planted with the money the tree farmer makes from your purchase.
Thanks for planting a Real Christmas tree!
Real Christmas Trees - A Natural Choice in the Pacific Northwest.
If you live in the Pacific Northwest, chances are you’ve used real Christmas trees in your home. Real Christmas trees are a renewable, recyclable resource and can represent a better option than artificial trees. Artificial trees contain non-biodegradable plastics and possible metal toxins, such as lead.
One of the most popular real Christmas tree choices in this region is the Noble Fir. It’s short, stiff, and sturdy branches are perfect for showcasing many sizes of ornaments ( even large ones). Plus, the blue-green needles on a Noble are soft with good retention.

Another popular tree choice in our area is the Douglas Fir. Oregon and Washington tree growers say the Noble and the Douglas firs make up about 95% of the market. However, you can also choose from Grand, Fraser firs, and at some farms, a Nordmann Fir.
A new Christmas tree in the region is gaining fans.Nordmann Firs are gaining in popularity in the Pacific Northwest. They are native to the Republic of Georgia and northern Turkey, but have been grown here for the last twenty years. This tree has strong branches, similar to the Noble.
The Nordmann Fir has very little fragrance, making it the best Christmas tree choice for anyone with allergies. Plus, the short, dark green needles are soft and flattened, with a waxy cuticle that gives it a shiny appearance, and helps prevent drying. The Nordmann has superb needle retention and sheds few, if any needles.
Regardless, of which real Christmas tree you choose, keep in mind you’re not “killing a tree.” Instead, you’re taking advantage of one of our area’s great resources. Real Christmas trees represent a green and renewable industry in both Oregon and Washington ( The Evergreen State).
