Complete Product Information for Fraser Fir (Abies fraserii) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 15-30cm
This Premium Cell Grown Fraser Fir (Abies fraserii) is a is a small to medium size tree growing to around 80 feet, with a very narrow, spire-like crown. The bark is silvery gray-brown and smooth except for resin blisters. The largest stems may become a bit scaly with age. The needles are flattened, 3/4 inch long, blunt or notched at the end. They are shiny and dark green above and silvery below and generally quite dense.

Abies are slow to estabish and produce stocky growth for the first few years, then produce good upwards growth once established.

The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world`s forestry trees are now cell grown!

Key Facts for Fraser Fir (Abies fraserii) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 15-30cm
Grow in fertile moist well-drained soil. If the conifer produces more than one leader, to maintain the general conical habit remove all but one leader. To restrict the height of the plant, the leader can be cut back.
•Overall, the benefits of potted plants with the price of bare root plants
•Extended planting season - they can be planted when you want to plant them, as long as the roots are kept moist. You are not restricted to the bare root season
•Minimal root disturbance - root systems are supplied intact, with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs, so once planted they can grow rapidly, not suffering the shock that bare root plants will.
