Looking for something unique and different? The Carolina Sapphire could be your new tradition!
-
Very nice citrus aroma that will make your whole house smell festive!
-
It has the appearance of a cedar tree but soft to the touch.

Sapphires generally have a smaller trunk with lots more foliage than many others, so maintaining its water is crucial to good needle retention.

Give it a fresh cut immediately before putting it in water to maximize its life.​
