Answer 2

The Japanese Cedar as mentioned above does not get "RED" per say, like as in a burning bush. It's more of a burnt, orangeish reddish color. I know of no "red" fir trees. Maybe the tree you saw was dead. some cedars look red after they have died.

Answer 3

i would be utilising the comparable previous shaped crimson and gold shade scheme i've got had for years, my front room is uninteresting cream so it brightens it up, I surely have offered a clean greater tree this twelve months nonetheless so i'm looking forward to getting the decorations up in a week or so.

Cherry Blossom or Sakura
