Hand-tied from freshly harvested, sustainably sourced White Fir boughs, our 14-inch Concolor Christmas Wreath brings a refined, natural elegance to holiday doorways and winter interiors. Unlike traditional pine or balsam, Concolor fir (Abies concolor, often called Colorado White Fir) is celebrated for its distinctive soft-touch, upswept needles bathed in a frosted silvery-blue hue. Brushing against the lush foliage releases an intoxicating, naturally occurring citrus and crushed-tangerine aroma that freshens your entire entryway throughout the holiday season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Concolor Fir compare to Fraser or Balsam Fir?
While Fraser and Balsam firs produce the deep green look and sharp, resinous pine aroma standard in holiday decor, Concolor fir is prized for its softer silvery-blue coloration and unique citrus fragrance that smells like fresh orange peel rather than turpentine or heavy sap.
Will a 14-inch wreath look too small on my front door?
A 14-inch wreath provides an understated, minimalist look on standard 36-inch doors, leaving 11 inches of clearance on either side. If your entry features a storm door with narrow clearance (under 4.5 inches), this compact 4-inch depth is the optimal size to avoid crushing needles.
How do you ship live botanical wreaths to ensure freshness?
Wreaths are harvested right before Thanksgiving shipping schedules begin, packed immediately in breathable, and delivered directly from the farm without long warehouse holding periods.
