Provenances | Christmas trees and greenery

Nordmann Fir | Abies nordmanniana originates from the western Caucasus and the coastal mountains of Turkey, southeast of the Black Sea.

Abies nordmanniana is very well suitable for your production of Christmas trees.

However, often you will have to fence off your Abies nordmannianas in order to protect them from bites from deer and hares.

Below you will find a selection of provenances that are well suited for the production of Christmas trees and greenery.
