Christmas Tree Sales in Severna Park

North and south and in the center of town, there are many options when looking to buy a tree. What kind of tree will you buy this year? Answer the Patch poll.

You don't have to go far to find the perfect Christmas tree, unless you are chopping one down on a farm. There are stands and nurseries sprinkled throughout Severna Park offering a full selection of trees and other items for holiday decorating. Take a look: 

Big Tree, located on a small strip of land next to Ritchie Highway northbound, Big Tree is owned by William Streams of Severna Park who has operated in this area for decades. Big Tree has two varieties of trees, among others, that are unique to the area. A Concolor fir, also known as a white fir, is soft needled and light blue in color. This tree resembles a white pine, however, the needles are a bit stronger, making it a good pick for those who hang heavier ornaments, Streams said. Another is the canaan fir, a cross between a Fraser and balsam fir and a red pine which "is a little stiffer and holds ornaments better," he said.

The other varieties include the popular fraser fir, Douglas fir, grand fir, Norway spruce, blue spruce and Scotch and white pine. The selection includes taller and larger trees, like an 18-foot fraser fir for $300. Prices start at $19.99 and up with most in the fir varieties in the $35 to $80 price range.
