TAKING HOME THE PERFECT TREE Any tree that is ready for harvest will have its own price tag attached to it right in the field. There are literally thousands of trees to choose from and you are free to take as long as you wish in picking from a wide variety of sizes, kinds and prices. Some tree fields contain trees which are not quite ready for harvest, these trees are not tagged and are not available this season. This is done to allow some trees to reach their best for a future Christmas. In general, our trees are priced according to how uniform a particular tree is compared to its neighbors and its height. Some varieties (species) grow to harvest size in 7 years while others require 12 or more years of tender loving care. Almost all of our trees are at least 5 to 6 feet tall when tagged for harvest. It is very easy to find a great selection of full sized trees to choose from varying in price from $20.00 to $75.00+. The hard (fun) part is in deciding which Christmas tree is the right one for you. There are special orange tags on some trees, these are what we call Charlie Brown Christmas Trees. These are great trees for doing anything your imagination might desire. They can be used for a table top tree with boughs left over to decorate inside or out. They make great trees for a child or any extra location that might enjoy an evergreen friend. These are the lowest priced trees ($6 - $19), due to their irregular shape and size.
