The Number One Christmas Tree
The Fraser Fir was voted the number one choice for all Christmas trees, whether real or artificial. The fraser fir has dark green needles that are ½ to 1 inch long, it has a beautiful perfect pear shape, and its branches are full and strong for your heavier ornaments. There is space inbetween the branches, so it is much easier to decorate than some other trees. With the Fraser Fir being the number one choice of real trees, the manufacturers of artificial trees were quick to try and duplicate it.
