Abies fraseri
Choose Fraser Fir for a cool, sheltered yard where you want a classic upright fir. The tradeoff is site sensitivity: dry, windy, or hot locations are better served by tougher evergreens.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It has a clean, upright fir shape, but it needs the right site to look its best long term. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It grows at a measured pace, so do not buy it expecting fast size. |
| Maintenance | B- | Pruning needs are low, but watering and site selection matter more than with tougher conifers. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | C | It is better as a specimen tree than a tight foundation or narrow bed plant. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can provide evergreen cover, but slower growth and site sensitivity limit its use as a screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically steer Fraser Fir toward protected, cooler properties with dependable soil moisture. If the site is exposed or sandy, we'd move you to White Fir, Norway Spruce, or Serbian Spruce instead.

Not our first pick; choose Norway Spruce if screening is the main goal.
No, not well; give it shelter or choose a tougher evergreen.
Very little, as long as it has room to keep its natural shape.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
