I’ve always loved the smell and look of a real tree and we’ve really been contemplating on getting one this year. So I’ve done a little research and come up with some ways you can get the best Christmas tree, save money on one and keep it alive through the Christmas season.

  • Decide what type of tree is best for your family! There are lots to choose from but there’s a little about each:
    • Balsam Fir -this one is best for the pine tree smell.
    • Noble Fir – if you have heavy ornaments you’ll want this tree. It’s limbs are stronger and able to hold more
    • Douglas Fir – is a lot lighter and easier to carry
    • Fraser Fir – this has upturned branches and tend to keep their needles longer
    • Scotch Pine – a pine is bushy and will feel fuller
  • Shop for your tree during Black Friday and save more. You’ll usually find them 25% off so grab one today if you can.
  • Cut down your own tree. This usually cost around $10 but make sure you have a permit before you start cutting.
  • If you don’t mind waiting you’ll usually see fresh Christmas trees marked down the week before Christmas.
  • Make sure you check the branches before you purchase your tree! You’ll want to do the fresh test – take a branch between your thumb and first finger and pull toward you. You want very few needles to come up off

Than make sure you’re watering it correctly and have the right climate for the tree you choose!

Do you have any other points to consider when buying a real tree? Do you have a family tradition of going out and picking your tree – I’m thinking it’d be a great one to start!

Happy Thanksgiving!
