One of the nicest things about Coates Christmas Trees, a Christmas Tree Farm serving the Kent WA area, is that you get to select your very own tree and you KNOW it is fresh. You can walk around the trees, take a good look, feel and smell to select what you really would like in your house this Christmas. You see how the tree looks while it is still standing, the spread of its branches, its shape and the thickness of the foliage.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN CHOOSING YOUR TREE:
- Size: stick to the size you made a decision on. A tree at all times looks smaller out in the open and it seems to grow the moment you get it into your house!
- Select a tree whose branches are strong enough to take the weight of your ornaments.
- Some trees have sharp needles, this could be a factor if you have tiny children or pets.
- Determine the height of the container you are intending to use for the tree
- You need to check your house and decide where you want the tree to stand
- Evaluate the height of your ceiling
- Decide what decoration you want to use as a tree topper and determine its height.
- Do some quick arithmetic. Your tree should be the height of your ceiling minus the height of your container, minus the tree topper decoration and minus about 6-10 inches so your tree does not brush against your ceiling.
- Consider the girth of the tree and check how far the organizations can reach sideways without employing all the space in your room. It is best to actually evaluate the space offered so you can be sure.
- Make a note of how many sides of your tree will be on display (At times a tree is placed in a corner where only two sides are really displayed. This will influence which tree you opt for.
- Examine the weight of the ornaments you intend to use to decorate your tree.
- Take note of all these points.
Make the actual tree cutting experience a fun family outing. Bring your notes, a tape measure and a saw when you go to get the tree.
Most Christmas trees are lightly sheared to make them easier to decorate and more symmetrical.
Two of the most well-known trees are the Douglas Fir and the Noble Fir, but there are many other varieties.
The Douglas Fir has soft needles and a distinct spear shape. The needles are medium length, dark green-blue in color and radiate in all directions from the branch. The fragrance is a bit like citrus. The needles hold well and the twigs are medium strength.
The Noble Fir is also very popular. It is beautifully symmetrical and has short stiff needles. The blue-green needles at times appear silver. The needles grow upwards leaving the underside of the branches exposed. The needles hold well.
CARE OF YOUR TREE
As soon as you get home, cut a quarter of an inch off the bottom of the tree and stand the tree in water. This is essential to keep the tree fresh. A tree will drink about a gallon of water a day. A fresh tree will keep its moisture, will not easily shed needles and will maintain its fragrance so you can enjoy it for longer.
