This was changed to grün (green) at some point in the 20th century, after the song had come to be associated with Christmas. Anschütz's version still had treu (true, faithful) as the adjective describing the fir's leaves (needles), harking back to the contrast to the faithless maiden of the folk song. The custom of the Christmas tree developed in the course of the 19th century, and the song came to be seen as a Christmas carol.
