How to care for your cut Christmas tree
- Make sure it has a fresh cut right before its placed in the tree stand with water. We will provide a fresh cut before it leaves the farm. However, if it takes more than an hour to get it home and in the stand, we recommend another fresh cut.
- Use a stand that holds at least a gallon of water.
- Check water often and keep the stand full. Your tree can drink up to a gallon of water the first 24 hours.
- NEVER allow the water level to drop below the cut stump of the tree.
- We recommend using plain ole tap water. No additives are necessary.
- Place the tree away from heat sources like vents, fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators and sunny windows.
- Check your lights and cords for broken bulbs and frayed wires
- Turn off the lights before leaving home or going to bed.
- With proper care, your tree can easily last six weeks or more safely.
- Please recycle the tree after Christmas!

Leyland Cypress

Our most popular variety grown here at the farm.
- Beautiful deep green foliage.
- Long lasting when kept in water after cutting.
- Leylands can last up to two months with virtually no needle loss.
- They drink a lot of water, so pay attention to the bowl.
- Perfect for folks with allergies. Not aromatic.
- Heavy ornaments could be too much for its lighter branches.
Green Giant Arborvitae
Another fan favorite due to its color and needle retention
- Excellent needle retention when kept in water.
- Lighter color needles than Leylands.
- Slightly aromatic.
- Light to medium strength branches.
- Beautiful when decorated with lots of lights and ornaments.
Carolina Sapphire Cypress
Looking for something unique and different? The Carolina Sapphire could be your new tradition!
- Very nice citrus aroma that will make your whole house smell festive!
- It has the appearance of a cedar tree but soft to the touch.
- Sapphires generally have a smaller trunk with lots more foliage than many others, so maintaining its water is crucial to good needle retention.
- Give it a fresh cut immediately before putting it in water to maximize its life.
