 the term for 'fir tree'
Can somebody help me please?
i'm Slovenian and I have some problems in translating the name of a tree. The tree I have in mind is the tree that we use to decorate as a Christmas tree.
I've found many terms, but i don't know which one is the most precize:
fir tree / spruce/ spruce fir/ pine (tree)
It seems that pine (tree) isn't correct since it refers to the whole botanical family of 'pinaceae', or to a specific tree from the same family, which has clustered needlees, which are also longer.
i've also come across the terms 'Himalayan blue pine' or 'Norway spruce'.
Among all the possiblilities listed, I kind of prefer fir tree.
Please give me some feedback.
Thank you.
