What makes this tree special.

Canaan Firs combine the best traits of the Fraser and Balsam Firs. They offer soft needles, a pleasing evergreen scent, and good needle retention. Their color ranges from rich green to a blue-green hue, and their branching is versatile enough for a range of ornament types. They tend to have a naturally full shape, making them excellent family Christmas trees.

The story behind the species.

The Canaan Fir is named after the Canaan Valley of West Virginia, where it grows naturally. Although it has been around for generations, it only recently became popular in the Christmas tree industry due to its adaptability to different climates. It’s genetically similar to the Fraser Fir but grows in a wider range of soils and elevations, making it a favorite among growers.

Tips for keeping your tree fresh all season.

Cut about a half-inch off the trunk before placing the tree in water to ensure hydration. Keep the tree in a cool location away from direct heat, and ensure the stand is always filled with fresh water. The Canaan Fir has good needle retention but does best when well hydrated throughout the season.
