Light ’em up! – The Right Christmas Trees:

There are two primary contenders when it comes to choosing a Christmas tree: the Fir and the Spruce. Both are excellent candidates, but they each have different criteria to consider.

The Fir is a tree that sheds yearly. They are ideal for a large outdoor display in your garden, or as part of community function. They yearly shedding can make them a rather messy choice for indoors, as the needles will scatter over your floor as they shed.

The Spruce, on the other hand, only sheds once every three-to-four years. Buying a young spruce can be an excellent decision for an indoor display and can be an excellent investment. If you were to buy a young enough Spruce, you could host it indoors on the year of purchase, care outdoors for a year and then (size permitting) bring it for the next year’s Christmas. Once your spruce has outgrown your home (or is on it’s shedding year) it can make an excellent outdoor tree.
