TYPES OF TREES:
Afghan Pines (Elderica Pine) a long-needled with a natural Christmas tree shape. It is especially suited to our high pH soils and drought conditions. Leyland Cypress, a new introduction to the Christmas tree industry. It has a non-traditional but luxurious appearance, with soft foliage instead of the needles of the pine tree. Leylands are reproduced by cuttings, so there is none of the pollen that may cause problems for allergic individuals. For lovers of short-needled trees, they offer hand-selected FRASER FIRS from North Carolina. These beautiful mountain-grown trees offer traditionalists both the farm experience and a very familiar tree.

TYPES OF TREES:
Bring the family to “Choose and Cut” a 6ft-10ft Afghan pine for a traditional Christmas Tree.

All field trees are tagged with the prices starting at $36.00 and up according to the height of the trees. We furnish hand saws for you to cut the tree, or we can do it for you. Then we shake, bale and help you load the tree in to your vehicle. We also sell Christmas tree stands in several sizes.

You can also select a living Afghan pine tree that is potted in one or five gallon containers, and ready to plant in the yard after the holidays. Larger living trees are available sometimes; just call and ask.
