CHRISTMAS TREE QUESTION: Is tree farming harmful to our environment?
NO! Christmas trees are, except for cultivated forests, the most environmentally friendly crop around. This is because a tree is harvested only after ten years. To ensure future harvests, ninety percent of the farm must remain in trees all the time.

CHRISTMAS TREE SPECIES: White Pine - Many people think that the graceful White pine is the most beautiful of all Christmas tree varieties, even though its soft needles make it difficult to decorate. The needles are five to twelve centimeters long, are soft and flexible and appear in bunches of five.

CHRISTMAS TREE SPECIES: White Spruce - Strong slender twigs hold ornaments well. Dense foliage & symmetrical proportions of spruce make it a very beautiful Christmas tree. The spruce needs lots of water & must be watered regularly to prevent it from losing needles. The needles are about 2 cm long & are dark green. They are stiff & slightly curved & give off a sharp pungent odour when crushed.

CHRISTMAS TREE SPECIES: Scots Pine -The most popular Canadian Christmas tree, the Scots Pine, is not a native of North America. It is a thick, hardy tree that holds its needles well over the holidays. The colour of a Scots pine is variable; some trees may be blue-green, while others are yellow-green. The needles appear in clusters of 2, are usually twisted & are about 4-8 eight cm long.

CHRISTMAS TREE SPECIES: Balsam Fir - Fir trees hold their needles well & are a good choice if the decorated tree is to be left standing for a long period of time. Needles are 2-3 cm in length, are rounded at the tip & are a dark, shiny green in colour. Unlike spruce needles, fir needles are flat & will not roll between your fingers. Balsam Christmas tree branches work well for lighter ornaments.
