聖誕樹的常用樹種
1、松柏類
松伯類是對裸子植物門松柏綱中的松科、杉科、柏科和南洋杉科的統稱。其中，柏科的樹木大多不呈現三角塔狀，極少被作為聖誕樹使用。
同時南洋杉科樹木原產於南半球（位於南半球的新西蘭、澳大利亞等地除外），通常只在南半球作為聖誕樹來用，其他地區極少用來作為聖誕樹；在松科和杉科中，由於松科所擁有的物種數可是杉科的十余倍，因此松科的植物常被作為聖誕樹。
2、松科冷杉屬
松科冷杉屬的十余種樹木是世界上用作聖誕樹最多的樹種，由於冷杉的樹形美麗、顏色和氣味討人喜歡以及葉片在砍伐幹燥後也不容易脫，成為最受歡迎的聖誕樹樹種。其中歐洲冷杉（也稱為樅樹、白樅）被視為是最為傳統的聖誕樹。
3、雲杉屬
雲杉，和冷杉壹樣有著塔狀的樹形和條形質硬的葉片，也是聖誕樹的主要樹種之壹。其中，挪威雲杉，由於易於種植、價格便宜，因此是十分常見的聖誕樹樹種。
4、松屬
松屬成員，如歐洲赤松、石松等松樹，在壹些地區也會被選擇作為聖誕樹的樹種。不過比起冷杉和雲杉來，用量就小得多了。
