Abies fraseri 'Franklin' is an narrowly upright, pyramidal selection of Fraser's fir with dense branching and medium-green foliage. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 30 to 40 inches (75 - 100 cm) tall and 24 inches (60 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 3 to 4 inches (7.5 - 10 cm).
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in 1990 growing in a residential yard in Manchester, Iowa by Dennis Hermsen of Farley, Iowa.
