This is an absolute must. Therefore, finding the right tree would be necessary. It usually boils down to a choice between pines and firs. Additionally, the freshness of the tree also plays an important role, so be sure to consider this aspect. For best results, bend a needle in half. Fresh pines should not break, while firs must snap.
