It is the favorite tree of families: the
Nordmann
has the advantage of being resistant and of keeping its thorns for several weeks.
King of the trees, it is therefore possible to buy a Nordmann from the beginning of December to enjoy it until December 25, without fear that it will be faded when the gifts are opened.
On the price side, count for a Nordmann tree between 50 and 150 euros depending on the size chosen.

They are more and more present in the salons during the end of the year celebrations, the
noble firs
or the
blue firs
are differentiated by their magnificent blue green and silver blue colors.
Better to wait until December 15 to buy these varieties of fir because, more resistant than Spruce but less than Nordmann, they can lose their thorns, once exposed to the heat of a fireplace.
Count between 40 and 80 euros depending on the size of the tree.
December 15 also for a potted tree
More and more people are choosing a potted tree so that they can replant it after the holidays.
In this case, it is preferable to buy your tree in mid-December, leaving it outside until it is time to adorn it with these Christmas decorations.
Don't overwater your tree.
Once a week, depending on the rains, is quite sufficient.

Spruce is the other star of Christmas.
It is appreciated for the smell of resin that it diffuses: it is the symbol of traditional Christmas.
Less expensive, it is an ideal tree for those looking for the best quality / price ratio (between 30 and 100 euros depending on the desired size).
On the other hand, more sensitive, the spruce tends to lose its thorns once inside.
You will therefore have to be patient and wait for the start of the school holidays to go and buy your tree to ensure that it stays well until Christmas.

When you want
If you opt for an artificial tree, of course you can buy it whenever you want.
No risk for this type of tree to see it lose its thorns.
However, it may be interesting to buy it as soon as possible, because the most popular models will be scarce as D-Day approaches. You can also take the time to compare the different offers.
Depending on the place of purchase, prices can vary from single to double.
How to keep a natural Christmas tree longer?
To keep your natural trees for longer, it is important to follow certain simple actions that can help you keep its thorns intact:
Place your natural tree far from heat sources (radiators, fireplace, stove, etc.)
Avoid direct exposure to light.
Moisten the branches every day with a small sprayer (if there is no electric garland of course).
