Christmas Tree Species - Lodge Pole

Lodge Pole (Pinus Contorta)
The tree originally used indoors to combat needle-drop. Due to the branches and needles being longer and fewer than say the spruce these trees retain their attractive dark green needles for an incredibly long period of time. The more open growth pattern allows for interesting decoration, but can require a fair amount of space. Trees are often cone-bearing, which adds to their asthetic attraction. These trees produce a most beautiful arromatic fragrance that will draw admiring comments from all your christmas guests. Typically available from 3' to 16'.
