I don't like any of these, I prefer to take the grand kids out to cut our own black or white spruce in the provincial forest and make a day of it, it is a lot of fun and the right way to gather your pagan totem.
Your list excludes almost every type of real tree available in my geography. Real trees = serious pain in the patootie, but smell like the holidays. We decorate it with fishing lures and led lights. My fave is a white pine, but down here, we almost always end up with a cedar type.
I’m in Oregon.
Tbh, I would prefer a cedar. They are my favorite tree. Second is juniper.
What kind of trees do you have there??
We typically end up with what they call a sapphire, though Leyland cypress are also very common. Most places ship in pre-cut Frasier fir. I like fresh cut though, and usually prefer not to spend that much money.
I have an artificial one this year but I prefer pine.
