Country Roads grows three kinds of tree in its fields. Leyland cypress is hypoallergenic, with no pollen, soft branches that do not drop needles and little aroma. Eastern white pine has soft, feathery needles and a light, pleasant aroma, and does best with lighter ornaments. Norway spruce is the holiday spruce with a great aroma, and it needs to be watered very consistently, at least daily.
The farm's Facebook page has the latest word on which trees are available when you plan to visit.
