Christmas Trees !
Ancient tradition takes on new meaning each December when you invite an evergreen indoors. Celebrating northern European tribes were first to cut trees and bring them home. Vibrant green against the snow, the trees were seen as a symbol of life and light that was bound to return with spring.
Today, wild forest trees are seldom cut or dug for the holidays. Today, trees come from farms. But they are as full and fragrant as nature's own, and still offer the ageless gift of renewal. As the Fraser Fir Capitol of the World, Avery county takes pride in its ability to grow the finest Fraser Firs, but White Pines also abound. Both these handsome trees are described below.
