Our Christmas Tree - Family Room - 2022

Like we've done since we moved in to our house here in Downers, we put up two Christmas trees this year.  One in the front room - a smaller tree.  And a larger one in the family room.  And, like the past few years, we drove up to Wisconsin to get them.  We went back to Evergreen Acres (same place as lats year and paid the same $75 per tree).

Below is a photo of our family room tree for 2022.  It is, like most years, a Fraser Fir.  


I've been tracking these trees on the blog over the years. This is the 18th tree that I've documented with the front room one from last year being the most recent (#17).
 
Here's our 2021 Green Room tree - about 6' tall. 
Here's our 2021 Family Room Tree - between 8' and 9' tall and picture-perfect shape.
Here's our 2020 Green Room tree - about 6' tall in total and perfectly shaped.
Here's our 2020 Family Room tree - about 8' tall in total, but really nicely shaped.

As for species/cultivar of fir trees we've cut down over the years, here's the list (starting with the oldest first):

2010 - Fraser Fir
2011 - Douglas Fir
2012 - Fraser Fir
2013 - Fraser Fir

That's 18 trees that I've posted about on the blog. Three of them were Douglas Firs. Now fifteen of them have been Fraser Firs. That's 83.33% of the time = Fraser Firs - which I think is the most common tree out there, right?

I'm adding a new dimension to track: source. Here's how that stacks up:

2010 - Tammen Treeberry Farm
2011 - Tammen Treeberry Farm
2012 - Tammen Treeberry Farm
2013 - Tammen Treeberry Farm
