Choose and Cut Your Christmas Tree


With Thanksgiving just around the corner, friends and families are gathering to celebrate the upcoming holiday season. North Carolina is the No. 2 producer of Christmas trees in the country, so why not add a Christmas tree choose and cut adventure to the itinerary for next week? We have more than 70 choose and cut farms that offer a variety of holiday activities in addition to beautiful trees. It’s the perfect opportunity to slow down, relax and ease into the holiday spirit.

To top off your adventure, some farms have hayrides and Christmas caroling, along with visits from Santa, hot chocolate and marshmallow roasts. Nearby mountain towns have accommodations packages available for visitors as well.

The majority of trees grown here are Fraser Firs, and we have other varieties that include blue spruce, white pine, Concolor, Canaan, Leyland Cyprus, cedar and Norway. The North Carolina Christmas Tree Association will help you select the farm you wish to visit by searching by tree type, other of amenities available such as wreaths, garland, visits from Santa and hayrides. If you can’t make it to the mountains this season, we have a number of Christmas tree retail lots spread throughout the state. You can find a retail lot here.

Does your family have a choose-and-cut tradition? Tell us about it below!
