More about Traditional Norway Spruce Christmas Trees
The Norway Spruce or ‘Picea abies’ has been considered the quintessential British Christmas tree since Queen Victoria and Prince Albert popularised the idea of bringing trees into the home for Christmas time.
This variety adorns Christmas imagery all over the world and is a firm favourite as a result. It is especially popular as an outdoor Christmas tree and makes a great focal point due to its commanding potential height. The traditional tree grows into a conical shape with foliage that is dense and spikey with a vibrant green colour that stands out beautifully against the simpler winter colours. Needles can be quite sharp on fresh trees so care is recommended when manoeuveing your tree into position and decorating.
The Norway Spruce produces amazing forest fragrances that fill the home with the scents of Christmas. It’s important to keep it properly watered once cut to ensure the best needle retention.
