Holiday Fraser Fir Tree (Abies fraseri) offers beautiful, silvery-green needles on upward-curving branches with a classic pyramid shape. Its exceptional needle retention and refreshing evergreen scent make it a favorite for Christmas trees, wreaths, and greenery. The strong yet soft-to-the-touch branches can easily display heavier ornaments. Though it typically grows to 30-55 feet in the wild, potted or smaller cut forms are simple to manage indoors through the holiday season.
Selecting a live Fraser Fir helps limit plastic waste while introducing a natural aroma into your home. You can set it up inside for a cheerful centerpiece, then replant in your garden come spring. Its ability to retain moisture longer than many other firs means fewer dropped needles, minimizing indoor cleanup. This eco-conscious choice captures the spirit of the season without generating unnecessary disposal waste.
Holiday Fraser Fir Tree Care
Through winter, keep your Fraser Fir in a moderately cool spot with bright light, watering just enough to keep the soil slightly moist. From January until your local last frost, check its moisture level every week and avoid any heat sources that can dry out the needles prematurely. Do not fertilize the tree until spring when growth picks up.
Once the ground warms and outdoor frosts are done, gradually move the fir outside for a few hours each day so it adapts to changing temperatures. Select a site with full to partial sun and moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Dig a wide hole, position the root ball, and fill in with loose soil before a thorough watering. A layer of mulch helps protect shallow roots, ensuring the Fraser Fir stands tall and healthy for years to come.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
