often referred to as 'the original Christmas Tree whose beauty requires nurturing. This species has poor needle retention and for this reason it is frequently used for outside displays.

All Nordman firs have dark green glossy needles, dense foliage and full bushes branches right down to the tips. With excellent needle retention they are firm favourites. They do however vary in standard and are often classified as gold, silver or bronze.

The artificial Christmas tree is easily available, doesn't require treatment and can be assembled at a moments notice. For these reasons alone it is a popular favourite in many homes.
