How to Plant & Care for a Fraser Fir Pot Grown Tree
Choose a location with plenty of bright sunlight most of the day and soil that is rich and moist. Make sure the soil drains well before planting your tree. Clay soil is particularly unsuitable.
A Fraser fir tree’s native climate is cool and foggy in summer. Don’t expect it to thrive in if you have high heat and humidity in summer. The tree prefers summer temperatures around 18-21 degrees F.
Fraser fir trees prefer locations with an annual rainfall of at least 75 inches (190.5 cm.). If you have less rainfall, plan to irrigate the tree. Never let the soil around the tree dry out.
Weeds compete with the tree for moisture and nutrients, so keep the tree’s root zone weed free. A thick layer of mulch will help keep the soil moist and shade out the weeds. If your soil is rich and loose, you won’t need to fertilize the tree. Otherwise, top-dress with 2 inches (5 cm.) of mulch in spring or early summer.
You may need to trim the tree to maintain a pyramid shape, but you can often shape wayward branches by bending them inward. Cut as little as possible so that you don’t ruin the natural shape.
