This splendid Christmas tree is widely known as the best variety for holding its soft, fragrant needles. Fraser Firs have a wonderful sweet, citrusy scent that fills any room. Their branches are slightly upturned, making them perfect for displaying your favourite decorations without any drooping.
Our cell-grown Fraser Firs are specially raised to develop strong, healthy root systems. This growing method means better establishment when you plant them in your garden. They’ll grow into handsome trees with a classic Christmas tree shape, reaching about 12-15 metres over many years.
The needles are dark green on top with silvery-white bands underneath, giving the whole tree a lovely two-tone effect. They grow in a neat, compact pattern that creates dense foliage, perfect for gardens where you want year-round structure and screening.
These firs are quite adaptable but prefer slightly acidic, well-drained soil. They’re hardy throughout the UK and don’t mind exposed sites, though they’ll appreciate some shelter from the strongest winds. You can plant them any time of year, but autumn is ideal for getting them settled before winter.
Whether you’re growing your own Christmas trees or simply want a handsome evergreen for your garden, Fraser Firs are a brilliant choice. They need very little pruning to keep their shape and make wonderful windbreaks or privacy screens.

Our deep cell trays are a smart strategy for cultivating trees with strong and deep root systems. This leads to healthier and more resilient trees that are better prepared for transplantation and long-term growth in your garden.
Extended Planting Season
Cell grown trees offer a significantly broader planting window, allowing for planting almost year-round in certain conditions. This flexibility ensures easier scheduling and enhances tree establishment due to warmer soil and more favourable weather conditions, extending beyond the traditional planting season.
Robust Root System
The roots of cell grown trees are encased and safeguarded within compost, preventing the young fibrous roots from drying out or sustaining damage. This intact root system, with its uniform and manageable shape, facilitates straightforward planting.
Convenient Storage
These trees can be effortlessly stored outdoors before planting, eliminating the need for labour-intensive temporary planting (heeling in) or costly refrigerated storage.
Ease of Handling and Planting
The extended shelf life of cell grown trees means there’s no immediate urgency to plant. Their user-friendly root system increases the likelihood of successful planting. These characteristics make them ideal for planting by novices or volunteers.
High Survival Rate
The intact root system of cell grown trees significantly boosts their chances of successful establishment, virtually removing the need for expensive replanting (beating up).
Cost-Effectiveness
While the initial purchase price of cell grown trees may be slightly higher than bare-root stock for some species, the long-term savings achieved by reducing the need for replacing failed transplants than compensates for the initial minor cost difference.
No plastic waste
Trees are often supplied plastic pots that are difficult to recycle, especially the black pots. We rely on our customers to reuse these where possible, however these cell grown trees do not have plastic pots – saving any reuse & recycling concerns.
