The Tree Farm Experience

Tips for visiting the farm and caring for your fresh cut tree

Tree Farm Tips

• Be sure to dress warmly and always wear boots.

• Select a tree that suits your needs. Keep in mind the location in your home, your type of ornaments and the length of time you will keep your tree up.

• In the “great outdoors” the sky is the ceiling; trees appear smaller than they actually are.

​

• Four-legged friends are welcome to come and help you select your tree. Leashes are required
  (for your pet, not you!).

About Christmas Tree Farms

• Tree farms stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts.

• Real Christmas trees absorb carbon dioxide and other gases to create fresh oxygen. One acre of Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirements for 18 people.

• For every real Christmas tree harvested, an average of three seedlings are planted in its place.

Caring for Real Christmas Trees

• The most important thing to remember is that real trees need water!
