Description

Size: 12-18 / Age: 2-3 / Growth Rate: up to 1 foot per year. The Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri) is a medium-sized evergreen tree known for its compact, pyramidal shape, and its symmetrical, dense canopy. The tree typically grows 30-50 feet tall. The needles of the Fraser fir are short, flat, and dark green, with a silvery-white underside that gives the tree a striking two-tone appearance. These needles are soft to the touch and have a pleasant fragrance, making the Fraser fir a popular choice for Christmas trees. The tree produces small, cylindrical cones that are purple when immature and turn brown as they mature, releasing seeds that provide food for wildlife. The bark is smooth and grayish-brown when young, becoming rougher and more scaly with age. Fraser fir thrives in cool, moist climates, preferring well-drained, acidic soils and full sun to partial shade. It is highly resistant to pests and diseases compared to other fir species, adding to its appeal as a landscape tree.
