In addition to the classic Nordmann firs, the stalls also offer exotics such as noble firs, colorado firs and fraser firs. The noble and colorado firs have a particularly striking, bluish needle, but are more expensive in cultivation, which is reflected in the price.

tips for the durability of the Christmas tree

An important aspect is the care of the tree after purchase. Duke recommends bringing the tree into the heated living room as late as possible and paying attention to not placing it right next to a radiator, as this could dry out the tree. "It is also advisable to fill the stand with water and refill regularly," she explains. According to Ursula Herzog, most trees can stay clean and fresh until at least January 6th, provided they are well maintained.

Ursula Herzog also emphasizes that the individually selected Christmas trees often stop until January 6th and then traditionally be decorated. "The trees are always freshly cut and usually last a very long time," says the expert. These tips and tricks are particularly valuable for everyone who wants to create the right atmosphere in their four walls in the festive season.
