It is soon time to begin looking at Christmas trees. The Elementals shake with frustration when their beloved trees are mistakenly identified as pine, when they should be fir, or as spruce when they should be pine. So, the Elementals asked me to give a brief lesson in how to tell the trees apart. And, yes, they are all EVERGREENS, remember, however, that calling a tree an evergreen is like calling you a human instead of using your name.
A Guide To Recognizing Christmas Trees
Look for the number of needles that come out of the same spot on a twig. If a twig bears needles in groups of two, three, or five, you can safely call it a pine.
Pine Tree Branch
If the twig carries its needles singly, it’s a good bet you’ve got a fir or a spruce. If the needle has four sides and, thus, rolls easily between your fingers, it’s a spruce.
Spruce Tree Branch
Pull off a needle, and roll it between your fingers. If it feels flat and doesn’t roll easily, it’s a fir.
Note: This information on the trees comes from www.finegardening.com. I am grateful for their informative site.
