Seedlings of Abies fraseri, approx 4-7″ tall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fraser Fir feature classic Christmas tree looks, with short, soft, dark-green needles with silver undersides revealed by upturning branches. Go to any Christmas tree farm and you will find this species, or just the stumps because it has already sold out. My grandfather called these the “Cadillacs of Christmas trees”, which in his day meant quite a bit.<\/p>\nFOR SALE, shipping Sept 28 through early Dec 2026<\/b>

The famous Fraser Fir is a beautiful landscape ornamental, and is widely considered one of the finest conifer species in North America (and most commonly misspelled: Frazer Fir, Frasier Fir, Fraser Fur, Frazier Fir, etc.)<\/p>\n

Abies fraseri seedlings grow to a height of 50 ft [rarely to 80 feet], and will flourish in fertile, rich loamy & sandy soils which are slightly acidic. In any case, they must have good drainage. As with most species of fir, Frasers are tolerant of shade when young, but prefer full sun as they mature and gain height. A good rule of thumb is to plant them from Tennessee north, but you can also plant them in areas of higher elevation. They are native to cooler mountain climates, and are not well suited to hot and humid summer conditions beyond zone 7.<\/p>\n

In terms of species, Fraser\u00a0are so similar to Balsam Fir seedlings<\/a> that scientists believe that not too long ago they were one and the same. Debates continue as to whether they should be considered separate species or not.<\/p>\n
