There are a few plants that are considered Christmas, mainly because their flowering usually coincides with Christmas, although this is not always the case. In fact, there are some that bloom in spring, but nevertheless it is used a lot to decorate gardens and even homes in December and January.

Which are? The following:

Fir (Abies)

El fir tree is a conifer type tree that can reach impressive heights: 30 meters or more. Its growth is very slow, but it is a plant that beautifies the garden from a young age. Because of its often pyramidal shape, like that of the Abies albais often used as a Christmas tree.

If you want to have one, you have to plant it outside, in a sunny area. In addition, it must be at least 10 meters away from where there are pipes. It resists very well frosts down to -18ºC.

La common spruce it is an evergreen conifer that is often called spruce, but that actually has nothing to do with the Abies. Like fir trees it tends to have a pyramidal shape, and also it can reach astonishing heights, up to 70 meters.
