FRASER FIR

Fraser fir christmas tree

Fraser fir, Abies Fraseri, is a high-altitude tree and closely related to the Balsam fir. The Fraser fir tree occupies a restricted native range in higher locations of the Appalachian mountains; the only native habitat of Fraser fir Christmas trees. The Fraser fir was named for John Fraser (1750-1811), a Scot botanist who explored the Appalachian Mountains in the late 18th century. The species is sometimes also called Southern Balsam or Southern Balsam fir.

In many respects, Fraser fir and balsam fir are quite similar. It is even suggested that the two species were once a single species which has since evolved into the present-day forms.
