The White Fir, sometimes called Concolor Fir, is a favorite Christmas tree among discerning buyers. It is also an important timber tree in its natural range within the Sierra Mountains and the western slopes of the central Rockies. It is widely planted as a beautiful ornamental in the East. Not surprisingly, White Fir is named for its light-colored bark and the silvery or "glaucous" color of its needles.

The beautiful White (or Concolor) Fir has light-colored bark and silver blue-green needles. Tolerates most soils and drought. Matures at 50' in home landscape.

Wildlife Value:
White fir are used for cover by mammals and game birds. It is also used for roosting and nesting by songbirds and the seeds are eaten by squirrels and game birds.

History/Lore/Use:
White Fir is one of the 40 members of its genus worldwide, and nine in North America. Its common name is descriptive of the foliage, whereas its scientific name is not too helpful. "Abies" is simply the ancient Latin word for Fir trees, and "Concolor" means "together, or of one color." This wild mountain resident has no outstanding credits to its name in the lumber business. It does have commercial value and is harvested for miscellaneous products, but it is far overshadowed by its stronger woodland associates. Long ago, naturalist Donald Peattie predicted the real glory of this species. "Rather does the future of this tree lie in its value as an ornamental," he wrote in 1953. It is today a favorite for urban landscaping and a popular choice for Christmas trees.

Famous Christmas Trees

One of the most famous Christmas trees in the world is the one that is erected each year at the Rockefeller Center in NYC. The tree lighting ceremony marks the beginning of the holiday season. The Norway Spruce Christmas Tree is decorated with more than 45,000 LED lights and has a 9.5 foot Swarovski star topper.

At the end of the holiday season the tree will be milled into lumber and donated to Habitat for Humanity

Growing Christmas Trees

The average sized Christmas tree of 6 feet takes 6 to 10 years to grow.

Christmas trees, like all other trees, are subject to disease and pests. Aphids and red spiders suck out the tree sap causing the needles to drop off. Weeds are a threat to young trees, restricting their growth by competing for nutrients and moisture from the soil. Wildlife such as rabbits, hares, and deer will eat the tops of young trees when food is scarce in winter.

Choosing a Christmas Tree

It is important to get the right size of tree for your living space. Trees out in the open or on a tree farm look smaller than they will in your home so be sure to measure maximum height and width you can accommodate.

Also your choice of Christmas tree will depend on your style and budget. If you prefer a fragrant tree you might choose a balsam fir. If you want a tree that doesn't drop its needles and make a mess in your living room you might pick a Fraser Fir.

Christmas Tree types vary by district. What you can buy is typically shipped in from various regional Christmas tree farms. At our local full service garden center, they offer three types of fir trees for Christmas.

Balsam Fir Trees: 5'-6' high tree, the cheapest in the $ 30 to 40 range

Frazer Fir Trees: 5'-6' high tree, add $ 5 per tree so $ 35 to 45 range

Noble Fir Trees: Twice the price of the balsam fir at $70-80 range

Additional cost of the Noble Fir is due to the extra showy needles which have a longer life span once cut.

The best time to buy a real Christmas tree is two weeks before the holiday, but the longer you delay it the fresher it will be.

Whether you cut your own or buy it pre-cut, you should cut a small chunk off the base of the trunk and place it in water within 30 minutes. Treat your Christmas tree the same way you treat fresh-cut flowers.

What should you do with your natural Christmas tree once the holiday season is over?

Many towns and cities offer a recycling program. If you place your tree at the curb, municipalities will collect the trees, process and compost them. The wood chips are then used in city parks and gardens as mulch.

Artificial Christmas Trees

Some families choose to use an artificial Christmas tree rather than buying a real Christmas tree each year. These trees are usually made of polyvinyl chloride and shaped to resemble a Christmas Tree. They are then decorated with lights, Christmas ornaments and tinsel.

The best time to purchase an artificial tree is around the middle of December when the stores have their biggest selection. However, if you are a true bargain hunter you may want to purchase your artificial Christmas tree at a discount after the holiday eason is over. You'll be ready for next year!
