 Q. How does
Easy Fraser deliver the
freshest Christmas tree
possible?
A. Easy Fraser cuts trees just
before shipping. We have our
customer’s desired shipping
date, so we harvest and box
the item at the same time,
and then they are shipped
out via UPS or FEDEX. We
grow our own trees from seed
on plantations, so we don’t
have far to go for
harvesting. This is why we
deliver the freshest
Christmas tree possible!

Q.
Why choose a
Fraser fir for a Christmas
tree?
A.
Fraser firs have soft
needles and sturdy branches,
making it easy to decorate,
even with heavy heirloom
ornaments. Fraser firs also have
a wonderful fragrance that
can fill any room with the
scent of the holidays; and
needle retention is
unmatched by any other tree.

Q.
Can I do
anything to make my
Christmas tree last longer?
A.
Make a fresh cut of ¼ to ½
inch (wafer slice) off the
trunk and put the tree
immediately in water (no
warmer than room temperature). Then
don’t add anything to the
water except more water when
needed. There have been many
studies done by
professionals that show
adding “stuff” (sugar, aspirin, vodka,
etc.) to the water shortens
the tree's indoor life. Think
of your tree as fresh cut
flowers and keep them away
from heat, sun and blowing
air, this will make your
tree last longer.

Q.
Is my real
Christmas tree recyclable?
 A.
Yes, a real Christmas
tree is 100% biodegradable
and can be recycled into
mulch or used as structure
for fish refuge and feeding
areas. These are only a few
ways real Christmas trees
can be used after Christmas.
While on the stump a
Christmas tree plays host to
wildlife like rabbits,
quail, wild turkey, deer and
song birds. Christmas trees
absorb carbon dioxide and
other gases while giving off
oxygen. One acre of
Christmas trees makes enough
oxygen for 18 people a day;
currently there are enough
Christmas trees planted to
supply 18 million people a
day with oxygen. Christmas
trees are constantly being
replanted making them a
renewable ecological
resource.

Q.
How old is a six
foot Christmas tree?
A. Usually a six foot
Fraser fir is twelve to
fourteen years old.
Typically there are three
years of growth in a seed
bed, three years in a
lineout bed and six to eight
years in the field. A lot of
time and care go into our
trees.
