The Concolor Fir is one of the most popular Tree we grow. Some people call it the White Fir. Some people do not like them because their branches are close and they do not like the way the little ornaments hang. We use these in our houses at Christmas because we think they are a beautiful long lasting tree when freshly cut and watered.
The leaf or needle color is a greyish green and are curved upward. The needles are 1 1/2 to 2 inches in length and my opinion is that they are the next best thing to the Fraser fir. (we can not grow fraser because our soil is sandy and they prefer a Mountain environment with a more solid soil). We ship in fresh cut Frasers for some of our customers who prefer them. We pick them up the day they are cut or shipped in to North Jersey or Pennsylvania from N. Carolina and bring them to the farm. Each individual tree we ship in is put in a bucket of water until sold. We try not to sell outside trees because we guarantee out trees freshness and we can never be sure about those shipped. When we pick up our frasers we inspect them for freshness before we load them.
People do not realize when they buy cut trees at the big stores or lots that the trees they are getting could have been out of water and cut for over a month before they even get to them. Many are cut in October or November in Canada and shipped to the USA to a distributor. That is why they can sell them so cheap because they buy in large quantity and they are not fresh cut. We have had people come to us for another tree because they bought one at one of the large stores and it was loosing needles and would be dead before Christmas. I am not saying this happens to all of them, but it does happen frequently and that is why if you can buy a tree locally that you know when it is cut and has been watered you will be happier.
