[show more] Tall, straight, fast growing the premier tree based upon a fire prone ecology! It is a bread-and-butter tree for habitat for bunches of critters, as well as humans. One drawback: kinda tough to climb as it typically has few limbs. ( Disregard negative if you're being chased by a Moose or Bear ) [show less] 1 Comment	Vote! 4 votes 78 pts

[show more] The most exciting thing to happen in the short history of the southern Christmas tree industry is the introduction of the Leyland Cypress. In the 1800's numerous tree species from all over the world were planted in an arboretum at Leighton Hall estate in England (Welshpool, Wales). In 1888 six unusual seedlings were noticed at Leighton Hall, apparently from a rare inter generic cross between an Alaska-Cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) mother tree and a nearby Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa). Both parent trees are native to the North-American Pacific coast. The new hybrid (X Cupressocyparis leylandii) was called a cypress since the Alaska-Cedar is a "false cypress" and the Monterey Cypress is a "true cypress". Neither are related to our southen baldcypress (Taxodium distichum). Today, Leyland cypress is fast replacing Virginia pine as the tree of choice at many Christmas tree farms. Customers like it because it is not only a very beautiful Christmas tree, but if kept in water, it will outlast any other tree without leaving needles in the carpet.

Norfolk Island Pine is a misnomer. It isn't really a pine.

You are correct they are in fact a conifer, but I still think of them as a pine.

Must people simply lump all coniferales into the generic "christmas tree"! Further, Please add Pinus contorta: Lodgepole - Its my favorite, edging out P-Pine by just a bit!
