Nordmann Fir branch — glossy green needles with silvery undersides

Why Nordmann is the tree that looks the same on December 26.

Nordmann Fir needles are flat, soft and waxy, glossy green on top with a silvery underside, which is why they hold on long after other trees start dropping. Put it up Thanksgiving weekend and it still looks fresh for New Year.

The needles are soft enough that kids and dogs bump into it without complaint, and the full shape means it looks finished even before the ornaments go on.

  • Best needle retention of any fir
  • Soft needles, soft around little hands and paws
