other: The Fraser Fir is a native coniferous evergreen from the Appalachian Mountains of the Southeastern United States. It is closely related to the Balsam Fir, sharing many characteristics. The trees naturally form a pyramid shape and maintain dense branches which are full of soft, dark blue-green needles with silvery undersides. These needles can be retained for up to six weeks after being cut. Fraser Firs start to produce 1 ½ – 2 ½” long by 1 – 1 ½” wide purple to brown cones at a height of about 7 – 10’. The trees are recognized for their unique fragrance, reminiscent of the Christmas season, featuring hints of pine, woody, earthy tones, and a touch of citrus. Notably, Fraser Firs have been chosen multiple times as the White House Christmas tree and are popular in both home and commercial plantings.
