Judging from a random sampling of our customers, I’d have to say most people assume fir trees just grow naturally into lovely, conical Christmas trees. Truth be told, we spend much of the summer shearing West Virginia Balsam, Douglas, and Concolor Firs, so they’ll be perfect for the holidays. They can be pretty wild looking. Here are before and after shots of one such West Virginia Balsam, the hands down favorite at Ridgefield Farm.
