Fraser fir

The Fraser fir, Abies fraseri, is a species of fir native to the Appalachian Mountains of the Southeastern United States.

Abies fraseri is closely related to balsam fir (Abies balsamea), of which it has occasionally been treated as a subspecies (as A. balsamea subsp. fraseri (Pursh) E.Murray) or a variety (as A. balsamea var. fraseri (Pursh) Spach).
