Christmas Tree 10'-11' - Fraser Fir
Fraser Fir
One of America’s most popular Christmas trees — and for good reason — the Fraser fir touts blue-green needles with silvery undersides. With excellent needle retention and stiff branches, it holds up well to ornaments. Of course, the pleasant scent is a major perk, too.
The Fraser fir is a highly popular and well-regarded species of real Christmas tree. It is known as the "Cadillac of Christmas trees" and is particularly prized for several features:
- Aroma: It has a pleasant, classic pine or woody fragrance with a citrusy top note.
- Needle retention: It holds its needles exceptionally well, meaning fewer needles drop throughout the holiday season.
- Sturdy branches: The branches are stiff and have a slight upward curve, making them capable of holding heavy ornaments.
- Appearance: Its needles are a dark blue-green with a silvery underside, which gives the tree a special glow with lights.
- Origin: The Fraser fir grows natively in the southern Appalachian Mountains and is the official Christmas tree of North Carolina.
