Measuring Your Space

Before setting out, measure the height and width of the space where you’ll place your tree. Don’t forget to account for the stand!

Choosing the Right Type of Tree

Different species offer distinct aesthetics and scents. Here’s a brief overview:

• Blue Spruce: Offers a gorgeous blue-green color and a delightful aroma.
• Fraser Fir: Features soft needles and a wonderful fragrance, ideal for family settings.

Inspecting the Tree

Check for freshness by running your hand along the branches. The needles should remain intact and not fall off easily. A fresh tree will also have a vibrant green color and a pleasant scent.
