Our Fresh-Cut Christmas Tree Lots Are Open Daily – Beginning Sat., Nov 18, 2023

Fraser Fir

The “Kevin McCallister”

Fraser Firs, like the Christmas classic ‘Home Alone,’ have earned an iconic status during the holidays! Just like the movie’s young star, the Fraser Fir species is a lot tougher than it looks with strong branches capable of supporting heavy Christmas decoration and ornaments.

Balsam Fir

The “Buddy the Elf”

Balsam Firs have a lot in common with Buddy the Elf, Will Ferrell’s zany character from the ‘Elf’ movie! These live trees are for the truly Christmas-obsessed; their long-lasting fragrance is known to be the strongest of any popular Christmas tree species.

The “Santa Claus”

Douglas Firs boast all the best qualities of the Big Man himself! Their ultra-dense branching reflects Santa’s famous beard, with a wide, plush look that will remind you of his soft red-and-white suit. In the wild, Douglas Firs grow much taller than the average live Christmas tree species, so the younger trees have a wider size than most—just like Santa’s jolly belly! These trees are ideal for larger rooms where the tree will have enough space to attract plenty of attention. The branches are also strong enough to support lots of big, heavy Christmas decorations and lights, like Santa with his sack of presents! To top it all off, Douglas Firs give off a light and pleasant alpine scent that is a little sweeter than most—no milk and cookies required!

White Pine

The “Gizmo”

The White Pines species have a somewhat different look compared to other Christmas tree varieties, in the same way that Gizmo isn’t your typical holiday character! Their long, soft needles give them a cuddly appearance that’s gentle on your little ones’ hands.

Scotch Pine

The “Mrs. Claus”

The Scotch Pine is the Christmas Tree equivalent to Mrs. Claus—pleasantly festive, yet smart and practical! With the least amount of scent of all the tree species, Scotch Pines let the fragrances of your holiday baking, candles, hot cocoas take center-stage.

Comfort & Joy

There’s never been a better year to embrace the traditions of the season. Immerse yourself in holiday nostalgia with classic and contemporary Christmas decor from Platt Hill Nursery!
