A Better Christmas Tree

Wednesday, 27 November 2013 | by Pat's Picks

The Wall Street Journal says more resilient Christmas trees that originated far from the U.S. are hitting the market this year. The Nordmann and Turkish firs come from the mountains near the Black Sea. The Korean fir comes from South Korea. The trees are hardier than traditional varities found in local tree lots. And they have stronger branches good for supporting heavier ornaments. The Korean fir even has a lime fragrance to it.
