Selecting the perfect Christmas tree has been a tradition passed on for generations, and the garden experts at Armstrong Garden Centers understand the importance of finding the perfect, freshest tree that will last throughout the holidays. From freshly cut Fraser Firs to a lightly dusted, snow flocked evergreen, Armstrong Garden Centers has the perfect Christmas tree for any family starting November 21.

Known for providing a superior selection of quality Christmas trees, Armstrong Garden Centers takes great pride to ensure each tree receives exceptional care to maintain its fragrance and freshness.

“Our trees are hand-selected, cut and carried out of Washington and North Carolina to preserve their perfect cone shape,” said Armstrong Garden Centers Chief Horticulturalist Gary Jones. “Once arriving at an Armstrong Garden Centers location, each Christmas tree is carefully hand-cut and positioned in a stand filled with water to retain moisture and placed in protected areas to shield against direct sunlight, wind and other weather elements.”

With a diverse selection of evergreens, Armstrong Garden Centers has the perfect Christmas tree to light up the holiday spirit in any home.

Fraser Fir Christmas Trees – Grown on a family farm in the mountains of North Carolina, the Fraser Fir Christmas trees are carefully carried – not dragged – out of the forest to preserve their fresh quality and pyramid shape. Then they are gently placed in refrigerated trucks. With a – lovely scent and deep, rich green needles that are approximately 1Ž2 inch to 1-inch long, these evergreens are a popular choice.

Noble Fir Christmas Trees – These evergreens are grown in the snowy mountains of Washington, where the trees are carefully carried out of the forest and placed on cold trucks before making their journey down the coast. Noble Fir Christmas trees have 1-inch, bluish-green needles that lie along flat branches. Their fragrant, sturdy branches can support the weight of heavier ornaments.

Nordmann Fir Christmas Trees – The Nordmann Fir Christmas tree has been a favorite in Europe for many years, and is the most commonly grown Christmas tree in Germany and Norway. These conifers have symmetrically arranged strong branches with short, dark, shiny green needles that are soft and lay flat.

Silvertip Fir Christmas Trees (Armstrong Garden Centers Exclusive) – Grown in California in elevations of over 8,000 feet, Silvertip Fir Christmas trees are extremely rare. With a light fragrance, silver and blue tips at the end of the branches and large, wide spacing between the limbs, these evergreens display a modern, clean style.

Snow Flocked Christmas Trees – There’s no need to only dream of a white Christmas! True to tradition, Armstrong Garden Centers offers quality tree-flocking service for any Christmas tree variety, providing realistic, snow-covered branches that are easy to maintain. The flocking actually insulates tree branches with flame retardant material, resulting in little to no needle-shed and no watering!

For the best quality tree at the lowest price, Armstrong Garden Centers offers a Fresh Cut 7-foot Fraser Fir Christmas Tree for $39.99. Customers who purchase any tree with a metal Armstrong stand, will have the option to return the stand from December 26 – January 31 to receive a Armstrong Garden Centers coupon for $10 off their next purchase of $10 or more.
