I miss the smell of a real tree. When I was a kid, my grandparents always had a real tree and that pine smell was heavily tied to the memory of Christmas. I tried to do that for my son but Christmas trees don't really smell that strong anymore. It's just sad that I can't give that experience anymore.
Have you moved since you were a kid? I was surprised to learn not long ago that the type of tree used for Christmas trees is regional.
Near me it's radiata pine. If I remember correctly, Douglas Fir is the most common in the US but there are many others available. Wikipedia has a long list of common tree types
Good catch and I have moved, but Douglass fir is predominant in both places.
