Nordmann Fir

The Nordmann fir is a conical tree, with strong bushy branches that grow in tiers and become progressively shorter towards the top, which gives it its beautifully symmetrical shape. The rich green firs are pruned twice a year to ensure they look their best.

The Nordmann fir, known as Abies nordmanniana or the Caucasian fir, was discovered in 1838 in Caucasus, a mountain range near southwest Russia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, by a Finnnish botanist called Alexander von Nordmann.

The proud Nordmann is a slow-growing tree, taking ten years to reach 6ft tall. The most popular sizes vary from 5ft to 8ft, but we can provide a fir up to 20ft on request.

The needs of the Nordmann are shining and soft to touch, which makes it the ideal option for households with pets and small children. The fir is almost scentless, which is perfect for the more sensitive households.

The Nordmann is the longest lasting tree, making it ideal for the families who like to put their decorations up early. Water it well and position your tree away from heat sources like radiators.

Once you have placed your order, your tree is hand-selected from our specialist farm in the Scottish Borders two days before your delivery date to maximise freshness.

We dispatch our trees the working day before your delivery date, to reduce time in transit. We use specialist couriers to ensure your tree arrives safely and in excellent condition. Our couriers will send you a text message 30 minutes before they arrive, so you know when you can expect to receive your tree.
