As a tree service company, we have a deep appreciation for all types of trees, but evergreens hold a special place in our hearts, especially during the holiday season. Their fragrant scent and vibrant green needles bring a touch of nature indoors, creating a festive atmosphere that we associate with Christmas cheer. But have you ever wondered how evergreens came to be associated with Christmas? Let's take a look at their history!
The use of evergreens during winter celebrations predates Christmas by centuries. Ancient civilizations recognized the symbolism of these trees that remained green throughout the year, representing hope, renewal, and everlasting life.
While the exact origin of using evergreen trees as Christmas trees is uncertain, several legends and traditions contribute to their popularity.
Queen Victoria and her German husband, Prince Albert, popularized the Christmas tree in the 19th century. Images of the royal family celebrating around a decorated evergreen tree were widely circulated, solidifying its place in Christmas tradition.
Today, the Christmas tree remains a central symbol of the holiday season. From small tabletop trees to towering evergreens in town squares, their presence brings joy and a sense of wonder.
Whether you have a live Christmas tree or evergreens gracing your landscape, proper care is essential for their health and longevity. Here are some tips:
