Find your tree
Choose your Christmas tree.
M2 grows Virginia pines, the most common Christmas tree in the South: short needled, with a pleasant pine fragrance, dense foliage and strong limbs for heavy ornaments. They are Texas grown, only tagged trees are for sale, and the trees are 5 feet and taller.
Walk the rows, choose your tree and cut it yourself with the hand saw the farm gives you. North Carolina Fraser fir, 5 to 10 feet, is also for sale pre-cut as a separate choice.

Choose and cut a tagged Virginia pine
Every tree for sale wears a tag that shows its height and price, and trees are 5 feet and taller. When you arrive you are given a hand saw, and then you walk the rows at your own pace until you find the one.
Cut your tree, then take it to the shakers, where it is shaken and baled and the workers hand you your tag stub. Pay for your tree and pick it up at the bailers; your tag stub has to be marked as paid before you can take the tree home. Ask the farm whether the staff can help tie it onto your car.
