All you-cut trees are $120 and fresh-cut trees vary from $120 to $160 depending upon size and type. Live potted trees are $50 and as always, Charlie Brown trees will be available at reduced prices. We accept cash and contactless Debit, Visa, MasterCard and Amex.

What else do you offer for sale?
We have 2 sizes of top quality Cinco tree stands and biodegradable tree skirt/removal bags available.
Taking your Tree Home
Can you help load my tree onto the car?
We are happy to assist if time allows when you visit the farm. We have twine available that you can use to tie the tree down if needed. Some customers like to bring along a blanket or tarp to wrap around the tree to protect the inside or top of their vehicle.
What should I do when I take my tree home?
Leaving your tree in a bucket of water either outside or in the garage for the first 24 hours is best. If it has been more than 3 hours since it was cut, then you will want to cut about 1/2″ or 2cm off the bottom before being put into water.
Does my tree need a fresh cut before I bring it inside?
If you cut down your tree within 2-3 hours or if it has been sitting in water outside, you can put your tree up in a stand inside. If it has been longer or you are unsure, a fresh cut of about 1/2″ or 2cm will help the tree to begin absorbing water again.
How to Care for Your Tree
What size of tree stand should I use?
How often should I water my tree?
Should I put anything in the water for the tree?
What if I forget to water my tree?
How long will my tree last?
Depending on the type of tree and the care given, it will continue to feel fresh for from 3-6 weeks. Fraser Fir and Noble Fir last the longest and have excellent needle retention.
How should I remove my tree?
You may wish to use a biodegradable disposal bag. This minimizes mess and is an easy way to remove your tree. You can either place the bag under your stand when you mount the tree (this also helps protect your floors) or put the bag underneath the stand after all the decorations have been removed. The entire tree and stand can then be moved outside where the stand can be removed.
How can I recycle my tree?
