Natural trees
The best species for use are species of fir (Abies), which have the major benefit of not shedding the needles when they dry out, as well as good foliage colour and scent; but species in other genera are also used. Commonly used species in northern Europe (including the UK) are:
Silver Fir Abies alba (the original species)
Nordmann Fir Abies nordmanniana (as in the photo)
Noble Fir Abies procera
Norway Spruce Picea abies (generally the cheapest)
Serbian Spruce Picea omorika
Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris
and in North America:
Balsam Fir Abies balsamea
Fraser Fir Abies fraseri
Noble Fir Abies procera
Red Fir Abies magnifica
Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii
Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris
Stone Pine Pinus pinea (as small table-top trees)

here in Europe it is either Picea excelsa, or Pinus silvestris or the most expensive, different species of Abies sp.. Plenty of people recently have adopted the practice that they but a living tree in the pot and afteer Christmas they take it out. it either dies or they can decorate it when next Christmas come.
BTW Why do you want to know in the middle of summer?
