When you go to a Christmas tree lot, choosing a fresh, live Christmas tree should be your top priority. To make sure your home is full of fresh pine smell instead of dried-out needles, gain some knowledge on how to get a great deal on the best real Christmas tree you can find.

Varieties of Christmas Tree
Some families choose the same kind of tree year after year, and each variety offers a slightly different look.

Fir: Smooth bark and short, flat needles; nice spaces between branches with a natural tree shape.

Spruce: Bushy tree with sharp bluish-green needles of four sides; full and shaped like a pyramid.

Pine: Clusters of long, soft, green needles; fairly full conical shape.

Choosing a Tree Lot
Your chances of getting a fresh Christmas tree are better if you time your visit right and select the tree lot with care. It’s also a good idea to get your tree early in the season, as you can ensure that it stays fresher. If you wait too long to visit a tree lot, you will risk selecting a tree that has been cut several weeks earlier and started to dry out.
