8 Varieties of Trees! > Norway Spruce

The Norway Spruce is the most fragrant of all of the trees on our farm.  Native to the European Alps, the Balkans, and the Carpathians, Norway Spruce's were brought to America by european settlers, and continue to be most popular among our European customers.  A distinctive trait of Norway Spruce is the strong central leader and horizontal side branches, great for lots of ornaments.

Every Christmas, the Norwegian capital city, Oslo, provides the cities of New York, London (the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree), Edinburgh and Washington D.C. with a Norway Spruce, which is placed at the most central square of each city. This is mainly a sign of gratitude for the aid these countries gave during the Second World War.  A press release from Umeå University says that a Norway Spruce clone named Old Tjikko, carbon dated as 9,550 years old, is the "oldest living tree".  Norway Spruce has a long lasting fragrance that is said to have a relaxing effect upon body and spirit.
