6-7' Balsam Fir

Balsam fir trees are distinguished by their deep green needles that have a glossy appearance. Balsam trees have a distinct aroma that is often described as fresh, fragrant, and balsamic, giving the tree its name. The needles are typically 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches long, soft to the touch, and attached to branches in a spiral fashion, creating a beautiful, dense foliage.

Balsam firs are known for their needle retention, making them an excellent choice for Christmas trees. Their sturdy branches can accommodate various ornaments and lights, adding to their desirability as a centerpiece for holiday celebrations.

Trees are measured and graded by the Christmas tree growers before arriving at Lacoste.  Tree measurements are from trunk to tip.

Tips:

• For the best choice, get your tree as early as you can so that you can pick one that suits the size and shape of your room. If you’re buying a live tree choose around the end of November so that your tree will last through Christmas.
• Un-net cut trees as soon as you get home so that air can circulate around the branches.
• Rehydrate your cut tree by cutting an inch off the end of the trunk and standing the tree in a bucket of water (do this within 30 minutes of cutting, or it will seal over).
• If you are not putting up your tree straight away, leave it outside, frozen in a dry place, out of direct sunlight and sheltered from the wind.
• Position your Christmas tree away from fires and radiators, as these will dry it out.
• Check the water reservoir of your tree stand daily and keep it topped up.
