Nature Friday
Is a Fraser fir a good tree?
YES
The combination of form, needle retention, dark blue-green color, pleasant evergreen scent strong upswept branches that hold even the heaviest ornaments. For many in NC, there is simply no other kind of Christmas Tree. It is grown in such abundance in NC that it accounts for more than 99% of holiday tree species in our state, making it the most popular Christmas tree species.
Now for the Final Feature Friday a true story about Fraser Firs

when we purchased live Christmas trees we always bought a Fraser Fir from Clay's a local nursery not far from home. When we arrived at Clay's, we parked the car near the Christmas tree lot. An employee asked if he could help. Our daughter quickly said we are here to buy our Christmas tree. He asked type of tree do you want? I replied, loudly we want a
Furser Fray
Time stood still for about a nanosecond, the employee looked confused, my daughter and husband were laughing their heads off. I was the only one without a clue why they had the reactions. They told the guy she means
Fraser Fir
That is what I said. They said NOPE you said Furser Fray. Everyone had a great belly laugh we found the perfect tree.
As it is with loved ones...I am constantly reminded at anytime of year about this. Truth be told I still randomly reverse words, I talk very fast...my brain has a hard time keeping up
As the old saying goes, 'my tongue was wrapped around my eye teeth and I could not see what I was saying'!!
