Scotch and white pines: long-needle varieties with the traditional, attractive cone shape.
Blue spruce: an indigo-tinted pitle with a nice look, but loses its needles relatively quickly.
From Store To Stand
Once the chosen tree has been hauled home, place it immediately in a pail of water and out of direct sun or freezing cold until you're ready to bring it indoors.
Before placing it in a tree stand, one or two inches should be cut off the bottom, so that the tree can draw water up into the trunk and remain fresh longer.
To keep it from drying out prematurely, take care not to set it up close to heat sources like fireplaces, heaters or heat vents. Check and fill the stand with water frequently. A hardworking tree needs a lot of moisture to keep its good looks!
