How much do the trees cost?
Most trees are $60; select premium trees are $80. Premium trees are marked with a pink flag and are designated based on their shape and fullness, not necessarily size.
Do you provide saws?
Yes, we will give you a saw, a tarp, and a 7′ measuring stick. The tarp is for dragging the tree back to your car, and the measuring stick is for ensuring that you choose a tree that is at least 7 feet tall.
Which trees am I allowed to cut?
Avoid trees in blocks that are posted “No Cutting.” Other than that, you can choose any tree that is over 7 feet tall! We ask that you do not cut any tree smaller than 7 feet so that we will have enough full-sized trees next year, too. We will provide you with a 7′ measuring stick. If you want a smaller tree, you can trim it down after it’s cut.
Why are there brown needles in the center of some trees?
You might notice that some trees have brown needles in the center (close to the tree trunk). That does NOT mean the rest of the tree will turn brown before Christmas! Those needles turn brown because they aren’t getting enough sunlight. Any needles that are green in December would take months to turn brown.
Why are there so many disintegrating cones near the tops of some trees?
This year is a cone year for our trees. A significant number of the larger trees have cones that may or may not have broken up. The ones that haven’t come apart will disintegrate by the time you get your tree home. If a tree has cones, you will probably want to break them off and shake the fragments out of the tree before you take it into your house. There is likely to be some pitch on the cones, so wear old gloves to break them off.
What if we can’t find a tree the size we want that has a good shape?
We have more trees than ever before that are 9 to 12 feet tall. Relatively few of our customers want trees that big, so feel free to cut down a bigger tree and take what you want of it. We aren’t asking you to cut it close to the ground and drag the whole tree back to the parking lot. We did that one year but have decided that isn’t necessary.
I’ve found the perfect tree; what’s next?
Before you cut, make sure that the tree is at least 7 feet tall. Then use the tarp to drag the tree back to the parking lot. Tie the tree onto your car and pay us at the tent.
Can I get help cutting and dragging my tree?
Yes! Let us know when you are ready to go out. We’ll either send someone with you or get you in contact with one of our people in the field.
Do you provide twine to tie the tree to the car?
Yes, we’ll provide twine to tie it to your car, and our helpers can assist you with tying it on.
Do you accept credit/debit cards?
Yes—credit/debit cards are preferred over checks. (Cash always works!)
