Spruce shed their needles at the drop of a hat. Balsam also shed, but not as fast as spruce. I know that because my father and his brother had discussions every<br />Christmas about the needle longevity of their respective favorites. Balsam (my dad's choice) always held needles longer than the spruce of my uncle, no matter how faithfully both trees were watered. Frasier firs are the absolute best, though, of the shorter needled trees -- as their price reveals:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871244375969900344.post-35430206640370533132010-12-29T14:36:58.626-06:002010-12-29T14:36:58.626-06:00Glory be!

We always bought a white pine because they held ALL their needles for all eternity, until the goats stripped them bare in their pen. The needles in your pic do not look long enough or in groups of 5 needles per pack. :( I think you got a spruce and this defender of both white pines as Christmas trees and truth in blogging must stand and say so. ♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427600791389108340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871244375969900344.post-26534869091712562492010-12-29T11:23:54.656-06:002010-12-29T11:23:54.656-06:00First Item on Timetable
