Christmas Trees

We wholesale primarily in Minnesota and Wisconsin, call for pricing and large order discounts. In comparison to the large Christmas tree growers we are a small operation, wholesaling a few thousand trees a year.  This allows us to focus on quality and customer service, our primary goals.  You may find cheaper trees but you will be hard pressed to find many with higher quality.  We have three grades of trees to fit different markets, each with a strict quality threshold that sets us apart from many growers.  We offer delivery or pick up at our River Falls farm.

We offer retail Christmas tree delivery to the metro area and western Wisconsin.  Busy schedules and difficulty handling large trees will often make buying your tree a chore. Choose from any of the trees below, select a size, and will be happy to deliver directly to your home for a reasonable fee.  If you need a hand setting up or acquiring a stand we are here to help.

Our retail lot location will be moving for the 2008 Christmas season due to ownership change on the lot.  Please check back for updates on our new location.

BALSAM FIR – Abies balsamea
Pyramid shape. 1/2" to 1" short, flat, long lasting needles that are rounded at the tip; nice, dark green color with silvery cast and fragrant. Named for the balsam or resin found in blisters on bark. Resin is used to make microscope slides and was sold like chewing gum; used to treat wounds in Civil War. This fragrant tree is popular in Canada and throughout the northern United States.
FRASER FIR – Abies fraseri
Pyramid shape. The strong, upward-turned branches are densely covered with two-tone needles. The top side of the needle is dark-green to dark blue-green in color and the bottom side has a silvery appearance. Excellent needle retention, a pleasant aroma, and it's color make this one of the most popular Christmas tree species. Heavy ornaments and lights are easily held by this strong tree. The branches are also used to make wreaths, swags and Christmas roping. Named for a botanist, John Fraser, who explored the southern Appalachians in the late 1700's.
SCOTCH PINE – Pinus sylvestris
Stiff branches; stiff, dark green needles one inch long; holds needles for four weeks; needles will stay on even when dry; introduced into United States by European settlers.
WHITE PINE – Pinus strobes
Impressive cone shape. The soft needles are blue-green to silvery-green in color and has a very full appearance. Heavy ornaments do not work well on this tree. This tree has very little fragrance and is reported to be less of an allergen than some of the more fragrant trees.
BLUE SPRUCE – Picea pungens
Used as an ornamental landscape tree, the Colorado Blue Spruce makes an excellent Christmas tree. Dark green to powdery blue; very stiff needles, 1" to 1-1/2" long; good form; will drop needles in a warm room; symmetrical; but is best among species for needle retention; branches are stiff and will support many heavy decorations.
