CHRISTMAS TREES
We specialize in fir trees, specifically Douglas, Canaan, Fraser, and Concolor Firs. Here you will find some information about each of the types of tree. We also offer pre-cut trees that you can select from our lot or you can go out and cut your own. We provide hay rides out to the field and back on weekends (weather permitting) for those who want to cut their own.

CHRISTMAS TREE CARE

Keep your tree in a cool shady place, like a porch or garage, until you are ready to bring it indoors.  Keep it in water if possible.  If it goes without water for several days before you bring it inside, make a fresh cut off the trunk.  This will allow the tree to drink water once it is set up.  During the first few days, your tree will drink a lot of water.  Make sure the tree does not go dry.  If dry for more than 4 hours, the trunk seals and cannot consume any more water.  Be sure to keep your tree away from heat:  fireplaces, television sets, computers, heat registers, etc.  Always turn your lights off when you go to bed or leave your house.  Follow these tips and your tree will stay fresh all through the Christmas Season!

Canaan Fir
Douglas Fir
Douglas Fir

The needles on the Douglas Fir are dark green or blue green, 1 to 1.5 inches long, soft to the touch and radiate out in all directions from the branch. They have a sweet fragrance when crushed. The Douglas Fir has been the major Christmas tree species used in the Pacific Northwest since the 1920's. Nationally, it remains one of the most popular Christmas tree species.
Canaan Fir

The Canaan Fir is a relative newcomer to the Christmas tree market. It has many similarities to the Fraser Fir in growth and appearance.  The needles are shiny above and silvery below. The needles are more tightly populated on the branch than the Fraser and will radiate farther around the branch than the Fraser. This tree holds its needles very well.
Fraser Fir

The needles are shiny above and silvery below. They are 3/4 to one inch long, blunt or notched at the end.  The Fraser Fir is a small to medium-size tree with a narrow, spire-like crown. This tree holds its needles very well.
Concolor Fir

The Concolor Fir trees are large, densely-growing, narrow trees with a dome-shaped crown growing to 50 feet or more. This evergreen conifer tree is native to the mountainous regions of western United States. The needles on the Concolor Fir are blue-green in color and are longer than any of the other firs we grow. This tree produces a unique, citrus fragrance. This tree is very soft to the touch.

We will shake and bail each tree for ease of transportation. We also have drills on our site for drilling a hole in the base of the tree for use with the Stand Strait Christmas tree stand. The drilling of the tree does not enhance the absorption of water.
