  • It sells both choose-and-cut and pre-cut trees.

  • The farm does not publish tree heights, a size range or a price, so ask at the farm when you choose.
  • The farm’s tree page also gives care advice: make a fresh cut of about half an inch to an inch off the trunk, set the tree in a water-filled stand within 30 minutes (another small cut if it waits longer), keep it watered daily, especially in the first days, and afterward mulch it or offer it to farms for animal feed.

  • The farm lists no separate price or sizes for pre-cut trees.
