There’s a reason the classic Christmas silhouette in family movies looks the way it does: it’s a Fraser fir. Even in Florida — maybe especially in Florida — Frasers are the gold standard for a tree that looks gorgeous, holds ornaments like a champ, and perfumes the house with unmistakable holiday fragrance.
Strong branches, soft needles
Fraser firs balance strength and softness better than almost any other cut tree. Branches angle slightly upward and are robust enough for heirloom ornaments, glass balls, and heavy toppers. Needles are soft to the touch (kid- and pet-friendly) and cling tightly, which translates to less early drop. That’s a win in a warm climate, where doors open constantly and the AC runs on and off.
Iconic aroma
The scent is woodsy and bright, with a hint of citrus — a fragrance that says “holiday” the moment you walk in. If you want that classic smell to carry, position your tree near a return vent (not a supply vent) so the aroma distributes through the house without drying the tree. At Liberty, we get our trees from the hills of North Carolina, where freshness and quality are always guaranteed.
Excellent shape for small spaces
Frasers tend to be uniform, with a full but not bulky profile — ideal for Florida homes where the perfect spot might be between sliders and a console. The tree reads elegant, not overpowering, even as it reaches taller ceilings.
Hydration that works with Florida life
Cut a half-inch off the trunk before placing the tree in water and keep the stand filled — a gallon the first day is common. In our climate, aim to check water morning and evening the first week. Keep the tree away from direct sun through windows and from supply vents that blow heated or very dry air.
Make delivery week work for you
The key to a great Fraser season is timing. Liberty’s Christmas Presale lets you order your Fraser in October at 25% off, then choose a delivery date between November 21 and December 13 (or pickup). If your main hosting happens mid-December, pick an early-December delivery. If you want the longest display time, consider a post-Thanksgiving week and stay diligent with watering.
Skip the “lot lottery”
Inventory is finite, and the best trees go early. Pre-ordering through the Presale means you avoid the December scramble, secure premium size ranges (6–7’, 7–8’, 8–10’, and even 10–11’, depending on your ceiling height), and have the tree arrive when you’re ready to decorate.
Finish with right-size décor
Use fewer, larger ornaments for a high-impact, low-effort look. A continuous ribbon wrap — two spools, top to bottom — reads tailored and takes minutes. Tuck in a few fresh clippings at the base to blend your tree skirt into the tree line for a designer finish.
Order between October 1 and 31 to lock in savings and free local delivery (or 50% off delivery). Your future self will thank you — and your living room will smell amazing.
