Our Trees

NORWAY SPRUCENorway Spruce is the traditional Christmas tree which has been popular since Victoria times with short and thin, varying bright and beautifully deep green pointed needles. It has a more triangular shape than other varieties with attractive red-brown bark, a rich coniferous fragrance, broad base and bushy habit. These Christmas trees are very popular in Europe and North America and would be regarded as one of the most well known varieties grown on farms in those aforementioned continents. While regarded as quick in growth, in New Zealand they would be considered medium in growth with a Christmas tree size of 6’ to 8’ (2m approx.) grown in 4 to 6 years.

DOUGLAS FIRThe Douglas Fir Christmas tree (pseudotsuga menziesii) has been a popular Christmas tree species since the 1920s.They are grown in the US and shipped to the majority of the United States and is also exported to the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, Central America, Guam and Asia. In New Zealand, Douglas Fir continues to have significant forestry uses and is planted all over the country amongst other timber varieties. The trees have short needles with long wonderful bright green new growth stems. Most Douglas Fir Christmas trees will last about 4 weeks inside (if taken care of) but have a habit of new growth drooping immediately after cutting. If immediately placed in water or trunk is re-cut prior to placing in the water, these new growths will easily recover. To aid in the recovery of the tree, cutting the odd tips off the new growth takes off the weight and speeds up the recovery, without significantly affecting the look of the tree.These trees are normally ready for harvest in about 4-5 years, slightly quicker than the Norway Spruce.

MONTEREY PINE (P.RADIATA)The Radiata pine is the most well known and popular Christmas tree variety in New Zealand, possessing a mild and pleasant scent and long, soft needles which has been popular for NZ families for years; where many people will have fond memories. Native to a small island off the coast of California in the U.S., the Radiata pine makes a fast growing and hardy potted Christmas tree and attractive fresh-cut tree. Grown in very significant mass in New Zealand’s Forestry regions, making up most of the timber grown for the building industry, both in NZ and export markets overseas. The fast-growing Radiata pine (Pinus radiata) is a hardy, drought tolerant tree, which can grow over 2 metres tall in 2-3 years in many parts of New Zealand, compared to the 6-9 years and very cold climate required by most firs and spruces to reach the same height. We currently offer varying sizes of Radiata Christmas trees for sale available with really good lasting qualities (if taken care of).
