Balsam fir: dark-green in appearance with long-lasting needles, and classic Christmas-tree form. It also retains its pleasing fragrance. Balsam firs need up to 10 years in the field to produce a tree of slightly taller than two metres.
Fraser fir: similar to the balsam fir, but this species tends to keep its needles longer — up to six weeks, if cared for properly — than other Christmas trees. It can also cost almost twice as much as other trees.

Scotch pine: tree characterized by long needles. Tends to drop more needles than other trees. Was once the Christmas tree of choice in Canada but has slipped in popularity.
Colorado spruce: deep blue foliage makes it popular with some. Longer needles compared to other spruces. Handles heavy ornaments well.

White spruce: short needles with medium blue-green colour and prickly texture.
White pine: popular among some because of its very soft needles. However, those soft needles mean the tree can only handle light ornaments
