Every year, millions of natural trees are sold from Christmas In our country. Among these trees, there are four main species and not all have the same qualities. The type of leaf and needle of different sizes, tones, smells ... choose your tree.
Abies picea (Red spruce)
This species has long reigned in the homes of the Spanish. It is a beautiful balanced deep green spruce with a good resin smell that lingers on after Christmas. Its main drawback is that it easily loses its needle-like leaves, especially in hot and dry weather.
Abies Nordmanniana (Caucasian Fir or Nordmann Fir)
Since 2003, this species has become the star of the firs. The main strength lies in the leaves, which are not lost and do not fall long after being cut. Slower growth gives you a shapely figure. If it is bought in a pot, it is possible to plant it again, but be careful, since it can reach 10 meters in height in the garden. Its only flaw is the lack of smell.
Abies nobilis (Noble Spruce, Prócer, or Oregon Blue Spruce)
Like the Nordmann, it also keeps its leaves. Very soft and pleasant to the touch, it has an original color consisting of bluish tones. It is often used for garlands and wreaths.
Abies picea omorika (spruce or Serbian fir)
This tree radiates with its beauty: it is elegant, of majestic dark green. However, this spice is wild, as its branches are brittle for very heavy decorations.
