The World's Best Prelit Fraser Fir. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the most realistic Abies fraseri, or Fraser fir in the world, professionally strung with the best lights available, and guaranteed for life. Named for Scottish botanist John Fraser (1750-1811), the Fraser fir has become the nation's most popular Christmas tree because of its compact pyramid shape, sturdy branches, and high branch and tip count that makes it ideal for displaying ornaments. The actual branches of a Fraser fir were used in the polyethylene injection-molding process to replicate the exact growth patterns and distinct, short needles on narrow, pointy, upward-growing branch tips of the original tree. The natural look of the trunk is achieved by individually hand-applying resin over a tubular steel core, producing a wood-like grain and texture that mimics real bark. Its shape is so realistic, and its needles are so soft, that even tree farmers have mistaken it for a live specimen. Unlike lesser trees with short-lived light strands, this tree comes with your choice of traditional-style mini lights with advanced integrated circuits rated for 5,000 hours, or LEDs rated for 20,000 hours, ensuring bright, clear, reliable lighting year after year, backed by the rather famous Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee of Complete Satisfaction. All light strands are professionally strung, making the cords practically invisible against the branches, and an integrated 8' cord with a foot pedal switch allows easy operation. Flame-and crush-resistant for years of use and storage, the needles on the tree are mixed with PVC tips to soften the overall look and feel of the tree and add dimension to its layers. All branch hinges have metal pins for added strength at stress points, and the thick wire gauge branch tips can support heavier ornaments without sagging or drooping. It takes a mere 30 minutes to set up as each section unfolds like an umbrella (a helpful instructional DVD guides set up).
