ONLY WISCONSIN’S BEST
Shady Lane Greenhouses sells hand-selected Fraser Fir trees from Northern Wisconsin. Greg Olson makes his annual trip to tree farms in September. There, he chooses premium Fraser Firs for sale to the general public and for our customers’ special orders.

Fraser Fir
There are those who say that Frasers make a superior Christmas tree. Their reasoning? Frasers are known for their beautiful shape and wonderful aroma. Their strong branches are excellent for hanging heavier ornaments. Frasers are slow to dry out after cutting and retain their short, soft needles longer than other types of fir trees. Just a little trivia: Fraser Firs are named after late-18th century Scottish botanist John Fraser. 

We have Fraser Firs ranging in size from tabletop to 15′. Come see for yourself why John Fraser was enamored of these beautiful trees.

Keep Your Tree Fresh and Safe
• Buy the freshest tree you can. A freshly-cut tree is by far the safest and most attractive.
• Cut off at least 1″ of the trunk diagonally. Place the tree in water and keep its water holder filled.
• Use a tree stand that has a large water container and is sturdy enough to hold the tree securely and resist tipping.
• Keep candles away from the tree.
• Before stringing, check all Christmas tree lights for loose connections or bare wires.
• Use fireproof decorations and light reflectors. Keep tinsel out of light sockets.
