These natural evergreens, popular holiday decorations, are sourced and sold through a large home improvement retailer. Characterized by soft, needle retention and pleasant fragrance, these trees are specifically the Fraser Fir variety, a species native to the Appalachian Mountains. Consumers often seek them out during the Christmas season for their symmetrical shape and ability to hold ornaments effectively.
The availability of these trees at a major retailer provides accessibility to a traditionally premium product for a wide consumer base. This accessibility influences holiday decorating trends and allows more households to enjoy the benefits of a real Christmas tree, including its aesthetic appeal, natural scent, and environmental advantages compared to artificial alternatives. The practice also supports the Christmas tree farming industry.
