North Carolina has 1,600 growers producing an
estimated 50 million Fraser fir Christmas trees
growing on over 25,000 acres. Fraser Fir
trees represent over 90% of all species grown in
North Carolina.
The North Carolina Christmas Tree Industry is
ranked second in the nation in number of trees
harvested and first in the nation in terms of
dollars made per tree.
The North Carolina Fraser fir has been judged
the Nation's best through a contest sponsored by
the National Christmas Tree Association and
chosen for the official White House Christmas
tree nine times (more than any other
species...1971, 1973, 1982, 1984, 1990, 1993,
1995, 1997, 2005, and 2007.
The North Carolina Fraser fir Christmas tree
is the most popular Christmas tree in North
America and is shipped into every state in the
U.S. as well as the Caribbean Islands, Mexico,
Canada, Bermuda, Japan and other points all over
the world.
Producing the best tree for your family that
nature and nurture can provide takes much time
and effort. It can take anywhere from twelve to
fifteen years for a tree to be ready to harvest.
It is a difficult and time consuming process, yet
Christmas tree growers agree it is worth it when
their trees become the decorative centerpiece of
your home during the holiday season.
