Douglas Fir is one of the best types of real Christmas trees. This wonderful tree has shiny soft green needles. If you cut this tree in perfect conical shape, you’ll face some difficulty in putting ornaments, because a shredded Douglas tree has less space between the branches. But after decorations, this tree will look mesmerizing.
4. Eastern White Pine

This pine tree has long, feathery needles, and because of this, it is not only used as a Christmas tree but also its foliages are used in making wreaths, centerpieces, and garlands. White pine needles last much longer when appropriately watered. You can face some difficulty in placing the embellishments because the branches and needles are too flexible.

Norway Spruce is a beautiful tree, but the only thing about this tree that bothers is that it does not hold the needles for a longer time. Buy this tree only a week before Christmas. The National Christmas Tree Association notes that the “overall color of Norway spruce is fair to excellent, but needle retention is considered poor unless the trees are cut fresh and kept properly watered.”
9. Scotch Pine
