> Frazier fir are the way to go. Almost as strong as a blue spruce for hanging heavy ornaments but the needles are not stiff and jaggy like a blue spruce. If you like a longer needle tree, douglas fir are a good choice. Scotch pine are what you’ll see a ton of sitting on tree lots (and most likely the cheapest) but don’t tend to hold the needles as well nor look nearly as nice as the other varieties mentioned.
