Noble Fir – The Classic Christmas Tree

If you picture a perfect Christmas tree in your mind, chances are you’re thinking of a Noble Fir. With their strong branches, symmetrical shape, and rich evergreen color, Noble Firs are the timeless centerpiece of holiday traditions.

Where They Grow: Noble Firs are native to the Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington, thriving in the cool, high elevations of the Pacific Northwest. That’s exactly where we source ours — straight from Oregon and Washington growers who specialize in cultivating top-quality trees.

Growth Rate: These beauties grow slowly compared to other firs, averaging about 12–24 inches per year. It takes nearly a decade for a Noble Fir to reach the ideal 6–7 feet that most families bring home for Christmas. Their slower growth means denser, stronger wood and those iconic sturdy branches.

Fun Facts:

  • Known for their long needle retention, Noble Firs stay fresh and fragrant longer than many other varieties.

  • Their sturdy branches make them perfect for holding heavy ornaments (yes, even the glitter-glued school crafts and chunky glass heirlooms).

  • Noble Firs are sometimes called the “Cadillac of Christmas trees” because of their durability, beauty, and classic shape.

For many families (ours included), the Noble Fir isn’t just a tree — it’s the Christmas tree.
