Douglas Fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii, can grow up to 6 feet tall in five years. This is a common tree found on Christmas tree lots but has a short life span of only about two weeks after cutting.
Fraser fir is a beloved type of Christmas tree that also offers privacy, beauty, and wildlife value to gardens. The Fraser fir tree (Abies fraseri) is a comparatively rare sight in the wild.
