 Nordmann Fir Christmas Tree
Nordmann Firs are the preferred Christmas
tree of Europe, featuring long, full,
lush, dark green foliage that is soft to
the touch and has superb needle retention. The Nordmann, abies nordmanniana, Christmas
tree variety is little known to the
general American public but is easily the best-kept
secret according to those that buy them
year after year.
The Nordmann Fir Christmas Tree
originates from the Caucasus Mountains,
south and east of the Black Sea in Asia
Minor and was named after Odesa
Professor of Botany, Alexander von
Nordmann (1803-1866). Attaining grand
heights of 200 feet or more in the wild,
Nordmann Firs are beloved in the
Christmas tree community because of
their attractive foliage, blunt,
flattened needles, and distinctive
quality of shedding the fewest, if any,
needles. Under cultivation, Nordmann Fir
Christmas Trees can reach 60 feet in
height with a spread of 25 to 30 feet.
Their handsome, soft and lustrous
black-green needles stem from
symmetrically arranged branches,
producing the ideal pyramidal specimen
for your Christmas tree. Because of
their beauty and symmetry, Nordmann Firs
are popular as ornamental trees in parks
and gardens.
 Nordmann
Fir trees were the show
stopper at the Mid-Atlantic Nurserymen's
Trade Show with crowds of curious
onlookers gathering around the Nordmann's beautiful branches. Nordmann
needles are longer and softer than other
Christmas tree varieties and the
branches of Nordmann Fir Christmas Trees
are more spaced out than other
specimens, perfect for those that have
a lot of ornaments. The cones of Nordmann
Fir Christmas Trees are 5-6 inches long,
reddish-brown in color, with two winged seeds.
