Looking for the perfect Christmas tree? Look no further than Abies fraseri, also known as the Fraser Fir or Fraser's Fir. This evergreen tree can grow up to 50 ft at a fast rate and has physical characteristics similar to the balsam fir but with excellent needle retention and good resistance to early spring frosts. In fact, it has been used as the Blue Room Christmas tree in the White House more times than any other tree. Native to the mountains of the eastern United States and Canada, the Fraser Fir prefers moderately well-drained soil on cool sites and can grow in a variety of soils and shaded areas.
