About The Canaan Fir

The Canaan Fir has similarities to other more popular Christmas trees in both growth and appearance. Needles are about 1/2” long with a Light green surface and a silver green underside. The Canaan Fir needles are very soft and grow in a circular pattern straight out of the branch. They have a pleasant fragrance but not as strong as some of the other firs.  The strength of the branches are good for hanging medium weight ordainments.  Like all firs the Canaan has excellent needle retention.


Here are some things to keep in mind when you get your Canaan Fir home.  Before you put it in the stand recut the stump.  The tree started a healing process after it was cut to seal the exposed area. A fresh cut will help with keeping the tree fresh while it is in your house.  Then after you get it in the stand and set up in your house fill the bowl with hot water the first time.  Again the tree is trying to seal the exposed area and this will soften the sap for easier water uptake.  After this just make sure to keep water in the bowl at all times.  If you do run out fill with hot water again to soften the seal.
