White Pine
This lacey-looking Christmas tree with its bright dark green color and excellent needle retention make it a popular tree. Young families like this tree because the needles are soft and not pinchy to young children. Needle retention is very good. Trees range in size from 5 to 12 ft. and are very full in appearance due to the long 3 inch needles. This tree is easy to decorate, however heavy ornaments or lights tend to pull down the soft branches. See close-up photo
Austrian Pine
This tree has long green needles that grow in bundles. The branches are stiff and will hold heavy ornaments and lights. Needle retention is excellent. Its natural growth habit allows it to be sheared to a variety of densities from quite
open to extremely dense. Tree size available is
5 to 10 ft.

Fraser Fir
This species is always in high demand but difficult to grow in Ohio due to our hot summers. This fir has a short, flat bottomed needle and has a dark green top and silvery bottom. This year's selection is 5 to 10 ft. tall and located on the "back hilltop" of the farm. The Fraser Fir trees are nicely shaped and range from narrow to wide. A classic Christmas tree with excellent needle retention and easily holds heavy ornaments.

Canaan Fir
A newer variety for Ohio, this single-needled tree is becoming very desirable as a Christmas tree. The needle has a bluish-green top with a silver-green bottom. Needle retention is good and branches are strong making decoration a delight. Tree size ranges from 5 to 12 ft. tall with a new field opening up this year. Canaan Fir was chosen most by customers last year, due to our large selection and outstanding evergreen scent.

Norway Spruce
The shiny, dark green needles of this spruce make it an attractive Christmas tree. The single needles are short and prickly. Trees range in size from 6 to 10 ft. Norway Spruce look like an Old-fashion Christmas tree with its long swiping branches. Needle retention is considered fair and will last about 3 weeks.
