Fresh-cut tree
The shared company guide describes Fraser and balsam fir, with a fresh base cut available. Confirm this branch’s selection.
Living tree
Ask about current branch stock first. Plan root-ball transport, a short indoor stay and a planting hole prepared before the ground freezes.
Hollandia’s Nurseries & Farm is at 103 Old Hawleyville Road, separate from the Stony Hill Road Gift & Garden shop. The company’s shared Christmas-tree guide describes Fraser and balsam fresh-cut trees, with a fresh base cut available from staff. Confirm this branch’s current tree formats, species, sizes and stock before travelling.
Ask this branch whether living Christmas trees are available for your visit. Hollandia provides a planting guide with living-tree purchases: prepare the hole before the ground freezes, acclimate the tree in an unheated sheltered space before and after its indoor stay, keep the root ball moist without standing water and limit indoor display to a week. Confirm the size and the transport needed for its root ball.
For a fir comparison, Hollandia describes Fraser as having dense, stronger branches and silver-green needles, while balsam is noted for fragrance and shape. The shared guide sources the cut trees from Vermont and North Carolina; confirm which sizes and varieties are actually at this branch on the day you visit.
Choosing and caring for the tree
A fresh-cut tree needs a stand with ample water and a fresh base cut before setup. Hollandia’s guide recommends sheltered, unheated storage until you bring it indoors. Keep it away from direct heat and sun, and check the stand’s water regularly.
Living and cut trees need different plans for getting home and for the weeks after Christmas. Check the shop’s current product and service arrangements, including price, loading help and any delivery charge, for the tree you choose.
Planning this branch visit
The Old Hawleyville nursery combines plant shopping with display gardens, barns, greenhouses, gazebos and smaller shops. Its staff offer gardening advice; the spring flower show and autumn festival are separate seasonal events, rather than Christmas-tree-day inclusions.
Use this branch’s own address and contact when checking the holiday opening and stock. The published general shop hours can change for the holiday season.
Greenery without a branch mix-up
An earlier company holiday advertisement said Christmas trees were also available at the Old Hawleyville nursery, alongside the covered tree display advertised for Gift & Garden. Custom wreaths, garland, holly, kissing balls, cemetery and table arrangements and potted greens were part of that broader holiday range. Check which designs and tree stock are at this nursery before ordering.
The Stony Hill shop’s previous Santa, music and covered-shopping programme does not automatically take place here. Use the nursery’s own 203-743-0267 number for current holiday hours and collection arrangements.
Keep the item’s return terms with the purchase
Hollandia posts store-credit-only returns: 48 hours for green goods such as live plant material, and seven days for hard goods. Keep the receipt and ask how the particular Christmas tree, custom greenery or gift is classified before buying.
Its separate landscape-plant guarantee is a one-time replacement within one year: 50% for self-planted stock, or 100% for operator-planted stock with 50% of the installation fee, subject to the listed exclusions and receipt requirement. That is not an automatic survival or refund promise for a cut Christmas tree. For a living tree, confirm the applicable planting and guarantee conditions with the branch.
