The tree has an evergreen, aromatic scent and springy, yet sturdy, branches that cascade downward - creating the perfect platform to work from when decorating your tree.

The Fraser Fir has soft, short, flat needles measuring 3/8"-1 1'4" long, with rounded tips. The silvery underside of the Fraser Fir's needles are "pleasant to the touch" and are retained on the tree throughout the holiday season.

Information regarding
Fraser Firs...

Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri): Fraser Fir, or southern Balsam Fir, is native to the Appalachian Mountains in parts of Virginia, North Carolina, and eastern Tennessee. It is quite similar to the Balsam Fir except that the Fraser's needles are a darker shade of green on top and have prominent white bands on the undersides. Growth begins later in spring, making it less susceptible to late "frost injury" than the Balsam Fir. Growth of the Fraser Fir is generally more regular and rapid than that of the Balsam Fir, and 6- to 7-foot trees can most likely be produced in 7 to 11 years on good sites.
