8 POPULAR TYPES OF CHRISTMAS GREENS TO SPRUCE UP THE HOLIDAYS

Learn about the most popular types of Christmas greens that you can use to
decorate this season.


Home » 8 Popular Types of Christmas Greens to Spruce Up the Holidays
Share
0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Pinterest

The holidays have arrived, so now is the perfect time to brush up on your
knowledge of holiday-related topics, notably Christmas greenery. How many
different types can you name off? Become acquainted with the different types of
Christmas greens below, which is a beautiful way to add something natural to
your holiday home.


FIR

There are seven different types of Christmas tree firs: noble fir, balsam fir,
Douglas fir, Fraser fir, grand fir, Canaan fir, and Concolor Fir. Each fir tree
is unique. For example, Douglas firs range in height from 70 to 250 feet tall,
while balsam firs are smaller in size and will grow to be about 40 to 60 feet.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SPRUCE

Spruce is another common variety you’ll see on the Christmas tree lot. Types of
spruces include the Colorado blue spruce, Norway spruce, and white spruce.
Similar to pines and firs, spruce trees have needles instead of leaves. The
needles on spruce trees are attached individually to the branches, rather than
in clusters, which is the main difference between spruce and pine trees. Fir
trees also have needles grown in this way, but spruce needles are sharp, whereas
fir needles are not as pointy.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PINE

Another common holiday green is pine, which you’ll see on everything from
Christmas trees to wreaths, garlands, and fillers in Christmas flower
arrangements. The varieties include white pine, Scotch pine, and Virginia pine.
You can identify pine by their spindly needles and branches that appear to be
bent upwards. They also tend to have fewer branches than other tree types.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HOLLY

Holly is another classic green plant with distinguishing red berries and prickly
leaves. Prior to holly being used as a symbol of the Christmas season, the
Druids viewed it as a sacred plant that symbolizes fertility and eternal life.
While other plants die off during the winter, holly continues to thrive.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


JUNIPER

Junipers are known for their short green foliage, blue berries, and, sap. These
hearty plants have a rugged, natural appeal, which makes them unique greenery to
add to your Christmas decor.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


IVY

Ivy may be known for trademarking the top schools in the country, but they’re
also found in a number of Christmas arrangements. They add texture and holiday
green to arrangements, garland, or as a living wreath. Keep the cut ends in
water to maintain their health.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BOXWOOD

Boxwood is great greenery for garland and wreaths because they have a fuller
texture to create clean, modern arrangements. Their small leaves that closely
resemble an olive tree are so attractive, you can use the clippings on their own
for the holiday table or stuffed in a stocking.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MOUNTAIN LAUREL

For all of our readers in the south, you’re probably at least a little familiar
with mountain laurel – we say this because mountain laurel is traditionally seen
in southern regions and used in garlands and wreaths. They Mountain laurel is
traditionally seen in southern regions and used in garlands and wreaths. They
offer a simple spot of white, marked with pink etchings, and provide a
refreshing alternative to more mainstay Christmas greenery. It’s best to use
laurel outdoors to preserve their freshness.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A holiday home decorated with Christmas greens shows attention to
personalization and classic style. Even branches clipped from your garden and
strewn on the mantle or perimeter of the front door add instant merriness to the
home. It’s especially festive to bring in something natural during the winter
season.
