Choosing a Christmas Tree
You can pre-order your Christmas tree online from Rockaway each holiday season. Save up to 20% off on the freshest, high-quality trees in Jacksonville. Pre-ordering helps us know how many trees to bring in while you can still choose the exact tree you want on-site and be a part of the Burghardt family Christmas tradition.
To help you decide on a type of Christmas Tree, Rockaway carries three:
Blue Spruce –
- Beautiful striking blue color
- Broad dense pyramidal shape
- Strong branches to hold heavy ornaments
- Medium length needles ¾ to 1 ¼ “ long
- Fair needle retention
Concolor Fir –
- Light Silver-blue color; may show better in darker areas
- Elegant soft feel and look
- Better for lighter weight ornaments
- 1 to 1 ½ “ flat needles in rows
- Pleasant aroma
- Best needle retention
Fraser Fir –
- Dark bluish-green color
- Uniformly pyramidal shape
- Branches full, strong and slightly upward-turning
- Short ¾” rigid but soft needles
- Irresistible Christmas tree smell
- Good needle retention
Choose from many sizes – leave ½ to 1 ½’ of room between the top of the tree and your ceiling to account for tree stand and topper!
