Which Christmas tree lasts the longest?

When it comes to real Christmas trees, we Germans are not just picky, we are downright professionals! Every year, almost 30 million Christmas trees find their way into our living rooms, and no, they are not just any trees - we have our absolute favorites.

But back to the question and let’s explore this needle-related matter together!

1. The Nordmann Fir: The undisputed queen

The first stop on our journey is the Nordmann fir, or as we affectionately call it, "the royal diva". With a market share of over 70%, it is the most popular Christmas tree type in Germany. Why? Well, the Nordmann fir not only looks like it came straight from a winter wonderland, but it also keeps its needles for weeks - perfect for families with children or pets who like to tug at the branches.

2. The Blue Spruce: The Chic Exotic

Next up is the blue spruce, also known as the Colorado fir. With its unique silvery-blue color and intense, resinous scent, it is an exotic eye-catcher among Christmas trees. But be careful: its needles are as sharp as a dwarf's sword! Families with small children may therefore prefer the gentler Nordmann fir.

3. The classic spruce: The traditional oldie

Those who like things traditional will love the classic spruce. It's the tree that grandma had. With its thick, deep green needles and the typical Christmas scent, it exudes pure nostalgia. However, its needles are quite tricky and tend to fall off - so you better grab the vacuum cleaner quickly!

4. The Norway spruce: The colorful relative

The Norway spruce is similar, but a little more colorful. Its slightly reddish needles make it a real eye-catcher. And because its needles are not quite as sharp as those of the classic spruce , it is also a little more cuddle-friendly. Perfect for rustic, natural Christmas decorations!

5. The noble fir: The elegant star

For those who like glamour, the noble fir is the perfect choice. With its long, soft needles and symmetrical growth form, it looks like it came straight out of a catalogue. It may be a little more expensive, but its needles stay in place for a long time and its subtle scent won't bother even sensitive noses.

6. The pine tree: The robust country boy

The pine, especially the Scots pine, brings a touch of wild nature into your living room. Its long, flexible needles and strong, balsamic scent are like a walk through the forest. And the best thing: it is super robust and keeps its needles even under adverse conditions.

7. The Douglas fir: The fragrant friend

The Douglas fir, with its delicate citrus scent and soft, thin needles, is ideal for delicate, light decorations. It comes from North America and brings a touch of exoticism to the Christmas season. But be careful: decorations that are too heavy could overwhelm its delicate branches.

8. The Black Pine: The Aromatic Powerhouse

Finally, we stop at the black pine, the resin champion. Not only does it smell intensely of the forest, but it can also easily withstand heavy decorations. Its strong branches and robust nature make it a long-lasting choice for the holidays.
