Fraser Fir


The Fraser Fir is frequently called the Cadillac of Christmas trees. Looking at one it is easy to see how the tree earned its reputation. It has the classic look of a well-shaped Christmas tree. The Fraser Fir has soft, deep green needles backed with a lighter silver green. It has numerous twigs with good twig-stiffness, meaning it holds your ornaments well.  The Fraser Fir is the southern cousin of the Balsam Fir and a survivor of the last ice age--a time when spruce and fir forests covered much of North America

Today the Fraser Fir's native range is restricted to high altitudes (over 4,000 feet) in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia and North Carolina.  In fact, it does not grow well outside of this area and we tend to think of the Fraser Fir as being "our" tree. The Fraser Fir is a highly fragrant tree with excellent needle retention. As mentioned earlier, it is well suited to holding ornaments on its many strong branches.  Properly cared for, Fraser Firs remain green and fresh throughout the holiday season.

We offer lightly sheared Fraser Firs – they are more open with room for hanging ornaments and are a natural outcome of not highly fertilizing the trees like most farms do.

The lightly sheared Fraser Fir trees, shown at right, are organically grown, and only lightly sheared, giving the trees a more open, less uniform appearance.  They lack the factory- sheared uniformity of the densely sheared Frasers. You can see through to the trunk, and there is plenty of space between limbs to hang ornaments on the interior of the tree.  These trees have not been fertilized with inorganic fertilizers, and have not been sheared as often as the densely sheared trees. As a consequence, they have grown more naturally, as the Fraser fir might in the wild.

Our customers who try the lightly sheared trees swear they’ll never go back.

We do have a very limited supply of Frasers in the 12 to 14 foot size.  Pricing is on a tree by tree basis.

To ensure your fresh-cut tree looks its best throughout the season follow the Tree Care directions we provide with each tree.
