Most 19th-century Americans found Christmas trees an oddity. The first record of one being on display was in the 1830s by the German settlers of Pennsylvania, although trees had been a tradition in many German homes much earlier. The Pennsylvania German settlements had community trees as early as 1747.
The Norway Spruce, a European native, was probably the original Christmas tree. The Blue Spruce is the state tree of Colorado and Utah, plus the U.S. National Christmas Tree is also a Blue Spruce. Description . Spruce trees are large, with some species maturing up to 200 feet tall. They have a strongly conical shape, especially when they are young.
