Product Information:
The Celebrated Fraser Fir
Discover the enchanting Fraser Fir ( Abies fraseri ), a beloved needled evergreen tree from the Pinaceae (pine) family, native to the cool, moist Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States. This graceful conifer is widely celebrated for its classic beauty and aromatic qualities, making it a highly sought-after addition to many landscapes.

Ideal Growing Conditions: The Fraser Fir thrives best in full sun to light shade and requires moist, well-drained, acidic, loamy soil. It's important to note that this species does not tolerate high heat, making it particularly well-suited for cooler climates, higher elevations, or northern landscapes where its specific needs can be met (USDA Zones 4-7).

Aesthetic & Form: When young, the Fraser Fir exhibits a naturally narrow, conical shape, developing into a majestic tree that typically reaches 30 to 55 feet tall with a trunk 1 to 2 feet thick at maturity. Its elegant form and vibrant green needles with a silvery underside provide year-round visual interest.

The "Number One Christmas Tree": Beyond its ornamental value, the Fraser Fir holds a prestigious title: it's commercially farmed in North Carolina as a Christmas tree and has been ranked by the Christmas tree industry as the number one Christmas tree species! Its immense popularity for the holidays stems from its wonderfully fragrant and long-lasting needles that hold well throughout the season, creating that quintessential holiday aroma and beauty.

Perfect for Sensory Gardens & Family Spaces: The delightful fragrance and soft texture of its needles make the Fraser Fir an excellent specimen tree for a sensory garden, such as a garden for the blind, where its aroma can be fully appreciated. It's also a charming addition to a children's garden or a recreational play area, offering a pleasant sensory experience for all.

Bring the classic beauty and delightful aroma of the Fraser Fir to your landscape, creating a cherished focal point for years to come.
