CHRISTMAS TREE VARIETIES
BY POPULARITY IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY
The following list is part science and part art. In short,
national statistics on actual trees grown are widely available, yet which tree
variety is actually purchased in a year is a voluntary statistic, and hence,
is not as easily attainable industry wide. Still, from the many sources
available, we've compiled our best guess based on known sales, projected onto
growth pattern trends in all US regions. Of all the different kinds of
Christmas trees, we've begun by featuring the most popular.
Each of the following makes an excellent Christmas tree. Some are a
superior choice for Christmas tree decorations that are handmade and ropelike.
For example: popcorn strings, or similar garlands of miniature Christmas
ornaments. Other trees offer extremely strong lower branches, perfect
for supporting heavier and larger Christmas tree ornaments. Each has its
strengths and differences, including the fragrance that each emits.
