Why is Nordman Fir a popular Christmas tree?
Nordman Fir is the most popular Christmas tree in the UK because it’s low maintenance, attractive and family friendly.
Nordman Firs retain their needles well after cutting and stay looking fresh for longer. They also have strong branches that won’t droop under the weight of ornaments, and have an attractive symmetrical appearance with dense foliage.
Their needles don’t feel sharp like some varieties and the scent is subtle — ideal for homes with children or pets.
