The Fraser fir is a remarkable true fir species native to the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. It's one of the most favoured Christmas tree varieties in both the U.S. and Canada. These trees feature soft, rich green needles that have a striking white underside, along with branches that are sturdy and slightly lifted at the tips. The Fraser fir is an excellent choice for a low-mess Christmas tree because it retains its needles exceptionally well, and its delightful, sweet fragrance remains potent even after weeks of being on display.
