When the snow starts to fall, when winter engulfs me with her icy winds, I feel comforted by the sight of the evergreen silvertip fir Christmas tree in my grandma’s front porch.
It has always been there, beautifully decorated with handmade ornaments every Xmas season.
Silver tip as Christmas trees are popular especially in western North America where they are grown.
Silver tip fir Christmas trees are quite limited in supply compared to other types of Xmas trees such as Douglas fir, spruce or pine.
They are native to the mountains of southwest Oregon and California in the United States.
They can only be grown in high altitude of 1,400–2,700 metres (4,600–8,900 ft) elevation, have thick upright growing needles with an orange to red bark in older trees.
That’s why they are sometimes referred to as red fir trees.
Noble fir and Fraser fir trees have similar upward growing needles with silver tips.
Noble fir has upturned, blue-green needles (needles are about 1″ long), reddish brown twigs and evenly spaced dense branches.
Fraser fir has dark, blue-green short flat straight needles with silvery undersides. They have strong branches making them great for hanging Christmas ornaments.
Traditional silver tip trees have a wider spread out of branches contributing to a more bulky appearance.
The Silver tips remind one of freshly fallen snow and the joys of a white Christmas.
There is a bluish green tint to the needles with their silver tips.
They have a strong pleasant scent.
Silver tip trees have branches with wide spacing which makes it great for decorating with Christmas ornaments.
The leaves of the Silver tips or Red fir are less densely grown together with the shoot bark being visible whereas the leaves of the Noble fir are more dense and the shoot bark is not visible.
