As a Coloradan living among a forest of blue spruce, I admit that I never knew that Christmas wreaths and garlands made from American-grown Southern evergreens, such as magnolia and varieties of cedar, pine and cypress, will last eight to 10 weeks.

In 18,47, Imgard reportedly celebrated Christmas by decorating blue spruce with candy canes and ornaments and his neighbors in Wooster, Ohio, took notice.

Whether it’s a towering noble fir, a medium-sized Colorado blue spruce or even a fake plastic evergreen, expect to pay more for your Christmas tree this season.

Most of their trees are Colorado blue spruce — which have stiff needles and an open layout to their branches, making them ideal for large or heavy ornaments — and Douglas fir, a soft needled, highly fragrant variety with a classic pyramid shape.

There are eight varieties spread across 20 acres: Scotch pine, white pine, Fraser fir, Canaan fir, concolor fir, Norway spruce, blue spruce, and Douglas fir.
