Smokey Holler Tree Farm’s beautiful Fraser fir Christmas trees have “roots” in the Mount Rogers Seed Orchard, located in the Grayson Highlands State Park. Many years ago the highest elevations in the Southern Appalachian Mountains were home to Fraser fir and Red spruce forests. An imported pest, the balsam wooly adelgid, killed much of the wild Fraser fir stands and eliminated an important species from these native ecosystems.
“The Mount Rogers Christmas Tree Growers Association maintains a Fraser fir seed orchard of approximately 1200 selected trees. The seed orchard is located in the higher elevations of Grayson County Virginia in the beautiful Grayson Highlands State Park. All of the seed orchard trees are of the Mount Rogers strain of Fraser fir.” – Mount Rogers Area Christmas Tree Association
Smokey Holler Tree Farm helps area Christmas tree growers and the Mount Rogers Park Staff maintain the Mount Rogers Fraser Fir Orchard. We spent last weekend harvesting seed from the amazing trees growing there. The seed will be used to grow new Mount Rogers strain Fraser fir, ensuring the survival of the species for another generation.
The Mount Rogers Area Christmas Tree Growers and the Virginia Department of Forestry are in the process of establishing a new seed orchard at the Old Flat within Mount Rogers. Smokey Holler Tree Farm has been participating in the project by managing the new site and helping to select the best Fraser fir trees to be a part of the new orchard. This new orchard will capture the best genetics for quality Christmas trees and wildlife habitat and will allow for the Mount Rogers strain of Fraser fir to be protected from extinction.
It’s a beautiful day at Smokey Holler Tree Farm! The temperature is in the low 70’s and there is a wonderful breeze. Our Smokey Holler Tree Farm team is trimming Fraser fir Christmas trees today. We have been hearing bobwhite quail and a few grouse in the fields as we work.
Our North Carolina Christmas tree farm teems with wildlife during the late summer. We see deer, turkey (yesterday we saw 6 poults), grouse, and an occasional black bear on our farm.
Integrated Pest Management, IPM, is our guide for growing the best Christmas trees for our customers. An important part of Smokey Holler Tree Farm’s mission is to create a sustainable and eco-friendly farm with varying habitat to support a large variety of wildlife. Much of our land is managed as forest and we leave large riparian buffers along the trout filled streams and creeks at Smokey Holler Tree Farm.
We are so blessed to have our Christmas tree farm in our backyard!
