| The Fraser
Fir grows naturally only in the southern
Appalachians. Cool temperatures and the abundant
rainfall of western North Carolina are
ideally suited for production of the
"Cadillac" of Christmas
trees. The Fraser is especially noted for
its needle retention, deep green color,
with a silvery underside as well as its
wonderfully fragrant aroma and strong boughs
that will support the heaviest of ornaments.
North Carolina
tree growers produce over 50 million
Fraser Firs each year. The Fraser Fir was
named for John Fraser, a Scottish botanist
who explored the southern Appalachian
Mountains of North Carolina in the late
1700s. It is a pyramid-shaped tree that
reaches a maximum height of 80 feet and a
trunk diameter of 1-1/2 feet.
Over 50 million Fraser Firs are grown in
North Carolina on 25,000 acres for use as
Christmas trees, and the Fraser fir
represents over 90% of all the trees grown
in North Carolina as Christmas trees. Wolf
Creek Tree Farm prides itself in having the
best quality Christmas trees grown in North
Carolina.
Try a North
Carolina grown Fraser Fir and it will likely
become a permanent part of your holiday
tradition.
