Fraser firs are a very popular tree for their strong branches and soft, pliable, dark green needles. However, Fraser Firs do not grow well in the sandy soil on the Eastern Shore. Thus we bring them in from the mountains of North Carolina and down from Pennsylvania. Upon arrival, each tree is given a fresh cut and placed into water to ensure freshness.
