Tips on Choosing, Cutting, Buying and Caring for Your Tree

We understand that not everyone wants or can use a larger tree. Some customers want a small tree for a child, other family member or an extra room. It can be expensive to pay full price for a small tree. With that in mind, we usually have some reasonably priced small pre-cut trees. 

These trees can sell out and not be available after the first couple of weekends. Another option for a small tree is our discount trees.

Not all trees are the same. Sometimes, now matter what we do, a tree never acquires a Christmas tree shape. The cause might be the genetic makeup of the tree, damage from animals like deer, drought, shade from a larger tree or other reason. Most farms will cut these trees out.  We either let them continue to grow because sometimes they become nice looking big trees or we offer them as discount trees. We don't always have these trees available.

Our discount trees are slashed in price dramatically. If you aren't particular about how a tree looks, these are a bargain. Sometimes, the top few feet are nice and can be cut to make an inexpensive small tree.

Our farms are on hillsides. It's possible to slip and fall, step into a gopher hole or trip over a stump. The fields are filled with natural imperfections that make tree hunting fun and a bit adventurous.

Also, when driving please go no faster than 5 MPH. Children and pets can pop out from anywhere. When walking, respect the roads as there are narrow and blind corners. And be careful of speeding drivers!

Your dog or other pet is welcome on our farms. We have only two requirements. They must be friendly and on a leash. We also ask that you keep your pet away from other customers, and their pets as even a friendly pet has a bad day.

We offer a complimentary free candy canes for the kids (adults too!).

Since we have been selling Christmas trees for over 60 years, we have a number of tall trees in the range of 15-20 feet. These are primarily white firs, incense cedars and pines.

We have tree stands to fit most tree sizes. We only sell water stands and highly discourage stands that don't hold water since the tree will become dry before Christmas without water. 

We also have an assortment of Christmas items like pine cones, decorations, mistletoe and holly that we grow on our farm. In addition, we usually have some small potted trees and other plants.

For a small fee, we will net your tree. We recommend netting when placing the tree on a car or maneuvering a big tree through a small doorway. We also offer free twine to secure your tree on top of your car, inside the car, in your trunk or however else you take your tree home. We do not assist in tying a tree to your car because our insurance company is a grinch and forbids it. 

If you want to keep your tree fresh for weeks, we suggest two things. Before you put it in a stand of water, make a fresh cut a half-inch or more at the base. After that, make sure the water bowl doesn't go dry. It only takes a few minutes for the base to sap over when dry and the tree to stop taking water.
