Fraser fir, Abies Fraseri, is a high-altitude tree and closely related to the Balsam fir. The Fraser fir tree occupies a restricted native range in higher locations of the Appalachian mountains; the only native habitat of Fraser fir Christmas trees. The Fraser fir was named for John Fraser (1750-1811), a Scot botanist who explored the Appalachian Mountains in the late 18th century. The species is sometimes also called Southern Balsam or Southern Balsam fir.
