Practically all species of evergreens are being used for Christmas trees, though some command better market prices than others. There is no one best all-around Christmas tree species for all areas. People in some areas of the country still show a preference for certain species, but regional preferences are less significant than formerly. Desirable characteristics of a live tree are:
- Retention of needles from the time of cutting through the Christmas holidays.
- Full, bushy symmetrical shape.
- Limb strength adequate to support ornaments and electric lights.
- Sufficient attractive non-prickly foliage with a healthy green color.
- Fragrant odor.
- Springy branches that can be tied compactly for shipment without breaking, and regain their shape when released.
