This classic northeastern Christmas tree is a near twin of the Fraser Fir. Its needles are deep green, and the tree has a pyramid shape that culminates in a slender top.
Known for its similarities to the Fraser fir and Balsam fir, the Canaan fir is referred to as the hybrid of the two. Canaan fir is a medium-growing evergreen tree that features fantastic needle retention, like the Fraser fir.

The Cadillac of Christmas trees!
A pair of silvery stripes on the underside of each needle distinguishes this aromatic tree from the nearly identical Balsam fir. Nice evergreen scent and needle retention is excellent.

Tree Care Tips

These tips for real Christmas tree care are provided by the Indiana Christmas Tree Growers Association.

CARING FOR YOUR TREE

Cut 1/2" or more off the base of the trunk before putting up the tree.
Place the tree in your tree stand and fill it with fresh water.
Don’t let the water level drop below the fresh cut on the base of the tree! If this happens, a new seal will form and the tree will not take up any more water.
Check the water level of your tree daily! Trees are very thirsty.

TREE SAFETY

Check all electric lights and connections before decorating your tree. Don’t use lights with worn or frayed cords. Don’t overload electrical circuits.
Don’t place your tree near a fireplace, heat vent or other heat source. These elements can prematurely dry out your tree.
Turn off all decorations before retiring at night and any time you leave your home.
