Christmas tree contest

I know it is a bit early for this, but I need help. Four trees have announced their candidacy for Christmas tree 2007. Since the winner will serve a 3 or 4 year term it is critical that the tree be picked carefully.

Tree 1 is a little cedar who's opted to grow right next to the house. He's now almost 2 years old.

Tree 2 is a little cedar who's also opted to grow right next to the house. He's now almost 1 year old.

Tree 3 is a little fir who's opted to grow right under one of the cedars at the end of the driveway, he's almost 2 years old.

Tree 4 is a little fir who's opted to grow a couple of feet awa from Tree 3. He's almost 1 year old.

Who's willing to help with the selection process? The little guy will also need a name, his predecessors were Joseph & Albert.
