Noble Fir Christmas TreesThe Noble Fir is a native of California and Oregon and has been very popular in Ireland. It has a beautiful fragrance and has excellent needle retention. It comes in a variety of shades of green and as the tree gets older it develops a blue – green colour. Our Noble Firs reach a height of 7 feet after about 6 to 8 years and pruning & shaping commences about 3 years after planting. Branches of the Noble Fir are also used for making Christmas Wreaths and for other floral arrangements and decorations.
Nordmann Fir Christmas TreesThe Nordmann or Caucasian Fir is a native of Turkey, Georgia and Southern Russia. Like the Noble Fir, it has excellent needle retention. It has lush dark glossy green needles and a perfect pyramid shape. Since introduced into Ireland, it has very quickly become the most popular Christmas tree. Our Nordmann Firs reach a height of 7 feet after 7 to 9 years.
In order to keep your Christmas tree looking healthy for as long as possible, you will need to follow some simple care tips.
Before you position and decorate your tree, take it out of its net wrapping on arriving home and place it in a bucket of water, overnight, in a cool, shady spot outdoors. This allows the branches to settle and rehydrates the tree.
If a day or two passes before you place it in a bucket of water, make a fresh cut at the base of the trunk, by removing a circle of wood about 13-25mm (0.5-1in) thick. This will help the tree absorb water, stay fresh and reduce needle drop.
Give your tree a vigorous shake before taking it inside, to dislodge any old loose needles.
Freshly cut Christmas trees can easily drink a pint of water a day, so we recommend you use a stand with a reservoir which you can top up. Simply fill the bowl with water and keep it topped up to keep your tree fresh for a long time.
If you use a water clamp to hold your tree, make sure it’s big enough. Never peel off the bark to make it fit or the tree will dry out – water is only taken up through the tree in the layers just below the bark.
Choose a cool spot indoors away from radiators, stoves and other heat sources – not always easy at this time of year!
Choose low-heat fairy lights- i.e. LED lights – this will help to prevent the tree from drying out
