The Fraser Fir
After a decade of being in the Christmas tree business, we have seen and sold a wide selection of trees; from Douglass to Balsam, we found that all of these trees had flaws - especially for the average Brooklyn home. As we continued to offer multiple varieties we noticed that customers quickly began to opt for our favorite species - The Fraser Fir
Here are just some of the qualities that we love about Frasers:
Extremely sturdy branches: We find this best for hanging ornaments, it will also help your tree maintain its' classic "pyramid" shape.
Shorter, softer needles: This means longer retention as it is harder for children and pets to pull them out. All tree varieties generally have the same needle retention period, so the ultimate factors in keeping the needles from falling out are freshness and care.
Fragrance: Although just as strong as the Balsam- the unique scent of the Fraser Fir tends to last the longest, giving you that fresh tree smell well into January.
Variety: Fraser's come in a great range of width from skinny to extra-wide and are cut at all heights over five feet tall.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic our previous farm in Canada has sold its business. Beginning in 2020 we’ve established a new relationship with one of the largest farms in North Carolina. This farm excels in producing the highest quality Fraser Fir’s and has innovated sustainable agriculture through genetically engineering 50% of their crops, with plans to increase to 80% over the next 5 years. Please see the video and photographs below from our fall visit to their farm.
FARM FRESH
All of our Frasers are cut one week before we receive them from a farm in North Carolina. Thanks to our partnership with one of the oldest family run farms, their innovative harvesting practices allow trees to be cut at the last possible moment.
Premium Quality Trees
Our farms have transitioned into only providing the highest quality firs.
$20-30/ft
The premium rating is used by tree farmers to designate only the best trees found throughout fields of Fraser Firs.
This quality of fir always has a perfect pyramid shape.
Premium Frasers tend to have a higher branch count making them "fuller" trees on average.
We only sell Frasers that are 5ft in height or taller. All trees under 8ft are priced at the $20/ft range. Trees over 8ft in height are subject to individual price rates due to their limited availability on a yearly basis.For exact pricing please view our Order Online page.
We Also Sell...
For those looking for a smaller tree.

3-5 ft. Balsam Firs
These discount trees can vary in quality from first through field run and are reccomended to customers with very little space or a limited price range.
2-4 Ft. "Charlie Brown's"
These cute balsams make for a great decoration, reminiscent of Charlie Brown's famed fir. They do not require a stand and are instead mounted in a wood disk from a large tree.
Tree Stands
Our Christmas tree stands will support all trees up to 8ft tall for years to come.
Pine Roping (Garland)
We offer a high quality pine needle roping, otherwise known as garland, in a medium thickness. It is sold by the foot with a 10 ft. minimum. Garland is great for decorating fireplaces, railings and doorways.
Wreaths
Our wreathes are hand made - double sided from branches of Canadian Balsams. They come undecorated at a 12” diameter.
BoUghs
As the holiday season progresses we accumulate a large number of unloved bottom branches from trees that have been sold. These free Fraser boughs can be of many uses in your holiday decorations.
