Grand Fir | The Grand Fir just smells like Christmas. It is the third most common Christmas species in Washington, accounting for about 10% of the annual production. This tree is a true fir, like noble fir, but it is cultured or shaped like Douglas-fir. The growth rate is between Douglas-fir and noble fir, taking about 6 to 8 years to bring a tree to market. Grand fir has an emerald green, glossy foliage. | |  |
