    5 is great, 4 isn't too bad either. I like a full looking tree

    I think I'd need a good feel first! 3 - 6 all have potential but it depends on how sturdy the branches are.

    Leaning towards 4 though.

    I've had a recount.

    I like them all.

    Number 2 for me. Do you know what species each are? And most importantly, if they shed easily?

    I disagree. Original Christmas trees were imported from Norway and Sweden so number 3 would be where it all started. We've just become accustomed to the home grown type of tree.

    4 & 5 look right to me, but 3 looks like what I imagine a 'perfect' American Christmas Tree to be, and I don't think I've ever seen them for sale around where I live?

    I agree knowing what type of tree each one is would be nice.... and where they're usually available if anyone knows :)

    No. 6 for me. Easiest one to decorate and great spacing for large baubles.

    If number 1 and number 5 were to, I dunno, let's just say fall in love some winter get married and reproduce their lovely tree offspring would be my ideal tree :pac: however should those two soul mates never meet ... I'd have to chose number 5. :p I'm not a huge fan of real trees. I'm too ocd for all the gaps with my ornament hanging !

    Not till early December. I'm trying to mentally prepare for the move...but it might not even happen! The only solid Christmas thing in my diary for this year is watching the Toy Show. :pac:
