7' Premium Balsam–Fraser Fir Hybrid Christmas Tree

Classic Christmas fragrance with a little more color, texture, and staying power.

This fresh-cut 7-foot Balsam–Fraser hybrid brings together some of the best qualities of both firs. You get the familiar fragrance and firm branches of Balsam with blue-toned needles, denser branching, and improved needle retention from the hybrid.

Why You’ll Love It

It is a beautiful choice when you want a real tree that feels traditional but looks just a little different. The fuller needle coverage gives lights and ornaments a rich backdrop, while the blue cast adds natural dimension even before decorating begins.

Styling Ideas

Use warm lights to play against the cooler-toned needles, then layer in natural wood, brass, red, or cream ornaments for a tree that feels collected rather than overly styled.

How to Care for Your Fresh Christmas Tree

A little care goes a long way toward keeping a fresh tree beautiful through the season.

• When your tree arrives, make a fresh cut of about 1" from the bottom of the trunk.
• Place the tree in water within one hour of making the fresh cut.
• Check the water level every day and keep the stand filled. Fresh trees can drink heavily, especially during the first week.
• Do not let the water reservoir run dry. If the cut end dries out, sap can reseal the trunk and reduce water uptake.
• Keep the tree away from heating vents, radiators, direct sunlight, and other heat sources.
• A cooler room can help the tree stay fresh longer.
• In a particularly dry home, a humidifier can help.
• No tree preservative is necessary when the tree is kept properly watered.
