Question

Which of the following is used as 'Christmas tree'?

• A. Pinus sp.
• B. Abies sp.
• C. Araucaraia sp.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

A Christmas tree is a decorated tree. It is usually an evergreen conifer such as spruce, pine, or an artificial tree of similar appearance, associated with the celebration of Christmas. Pinus radiata is the most common species of Christmas tree in New Zealand.
There are several types of conifer that can be brought indoors for decorating at Christmas. Picea abies (Norway spruce) is a traditional Christmas tree with a good scent, but quick to drop its needles.

Araucaria heterophylla is a member of the ancient and now disjointly distributed family Araucariaceae. It is sometimes called a star pine, triangle tree or living Christmas tree, due to its symmetrical shape as a sapling, although it is not a true pine.
