Available Tree Types & What's Right for You?
What kind of Christmas tree should your family celebrate the Holiday Season with? Well, that depends on your personal taste, how you like to decorate the tree, and how long you plan to keep your home decorated for the Holidays.
For an idea of what to look for this Season, check out the information below. The needle retention estimates are what you probably should expect in your home if your tree is freshly cut, you prepare your tree correctly once it reaches your home and you water your tree properly.
