Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) is a species of fir native to the Appalachian Mountains in the southeastern United States. It is highly valued as a Christmas tree due to its pleasant scent, strong branches, and excellent needle retention.
While Fraser firs are not native to Michigan, they are commonly grown in the state for use as Christmas trees. Michigan has a robust Christmas tree industry, and Fraser firs are among the most popular species cultivated due to their desirable characteristics.
Fraser firs thrive in cooler climates and well-drained, acidic soils, which can be found in parts of Michigan. The state's climate and soil conditions in certain areas are suitable for growing Fraser firs, making them a viable option for Christmas tree farms.
