There is nothing like the wonderful scent a fresh Christmas tree provides. For years to come that green pine fragrance can fill a heart with joyful memories of time spent with family and friends. Finding the perfect live Christmas tree and then cutting it down together is a tradition for many families.
About 75% of all United States households displayed a Christmas tree last year, according to the American Christmas Tree Association. While there is not as much of a shortage of trees as there has been in previous years, there are still supply chain issues. This means that trees may not get to the lot when expected. And, expect to pay higher prices for your tree. Best bought near Thanksgiving for maximum enjoyment, a cut tree will last for four to six weeks if watered daily.
Here are a number of locations in the area to get live trees. Trees can be found as a ball, you cut and pre-cut.
