If you like Balsams and Frasers but cannot choose between the two, then you are in luck! The Canaan Fir exhibits traits from both, which makes this a truly magnificent tree for the holiday season. With the coveted aroma and smaller, lighter trunks of the Balsam and the silver under-sided foliage and branch structure of the Fraser, you can have the best of both worlds. Fantastic! Heritage Hill Nursery will be carrying Premium 8-9’ and the Economy 10-12’ however stock will be limited so if you’re wanting a Canaan Fir this Christmas, don’t delay.
The most superb Balsam Fir you can find, and our #1 selling tree, comes directly from Hanuer’s Tree Farms in Shawano, “Growers of Wisconsin State Champion Balsam Fir”. The authentic balsam aroma makes this one of most fragrant of Christmas trees. Sturdy branches with natural ends have increasingly become the ornament-lover’s tree. Lighter in weight with sensible small to medium sized trunks, given adequate care, if purchased at Heritage Hill Nursery, the Balsam Fir if watered daily, should easily last through Christmas, but hurry as these trees tend to be the first to disappear. This year both the Promotional 8-10’and Economy 10-12’ will be available but quantities will be limited.
With its vibrant color, medium size trunk, and firmer branches for hanging those heavier ornaments, the Fraser Fir has become a popular choice amongst Christmas tree varieties. This year Heritage Hill Nursery will be carrying both Promotional 10-12’ as well as Premium sizes ranging between 7-10’. If you are in the market for a Fraser, do not wait. Stop by Heritage Hill Nursery after Thanksgiving, as these beauties will not last.
Embark on a journey of festive discovery with the range of Christmas trees we have curated for you at Heritage Hill Nursery. Our grading system is designed to cater to different aesthetic and budget preferences, ensuring that you find that perfect tree to resonate with your holiday spirit. As you navigate through our Premium, Promotional, and Economy grades, you’re not just selecting a tree, but embracing a tradition, wrapped with the timeless charm and essence of Christmas.
Premium Grade
Indulge in the perfection of our USDA Grade Premium trees, the epitome of the classic Christmas tree. With their flawless cone shape, vibrant freshness, and almost no defects, they are primed to be the centerpiece of your holiday decor. Expertly sheared throughout the growing season, these trees are meticulously pruned at the bottom and stand-ready for a grand display the moment they arrive at your home.
Promotional Grade
Our Promotional Grade trees encapsulate the charm of premium-grade trees yet with a touch of natural uniqueness. Although they may harbor a few more natural blemishes, these minor imperfections are easily overshadowed once the trees are adorned with your favorite festive decorations. Skillfully sheared and pruned to create that desirable cone-shape, these trees are a delightful blend of perfection and natural beauty, ready to brighten your home.
Economy Grade
The rustic allure of our Economy Grade trees caters to those who appreciate a more natural, unrefined beauty. These trees may not meet the stringent standards set for the higher grades, but they compensate with their natural charm and budget-friendly price tag. The slightly looser branch density of these trees not only makes them more economically priced but also provides better ornament visibility, making them a cherished choice for many of our customers.
This month, before the snow begins falling be sure to dump and clean out any planter boxes/pots and store them inside. Old planting material should be dumped onto a compost pile or taken somewhere off the property to be disposed of. Concrete planters that are too heavy to bring indoors should have as much of the potting material removed and be covered completely with tarps or covers made especially for planters, which will prevent rain or snow from settling inside and freezing.
Any moisture left inside shallow surfaces will often be subject to the expansion process of freezing/refreezing during warmer winter days and oftentimes will cause cracks to develop thus destroying the integrity of the planter.
