Christmas is coming! There are only 6 more weeks left before Christmas arrives! Are you excited? Have you started shopping yet? Have you found your perfect living Christmas tree yet (not to worry, there is still time to order one!)?
While we have the living tree delivery and pick-up covered for you, there are other things you could do to add a little more green to your white Christmas celebration. Since we get so excited about it, we thought you might as well.
Scotty Claus and the Elves Present: Green Christmas tips!
It’s the pivotal moment of your holiday experience: picking the Christmas tree. This could take hours—maybe days—at the tree lot making sure to find just the right height and variety. We’ll do your family a favor by keeping you out of the rain and finding your perfect tree for you. Once you tell us the height and variety you prefer, we’ll spend days in our nurseries finding your perfect tree.
In North America, fir trees are the most common variety of cut tree because they retain water well and the needles don’t shed when they dry out. With a living tree this year, you don’t have to worry about the tree drying out. In fact, we offer five varieties of trees, each beautifully suited for your home. So much for keeping up with the Jones’; this year you ARE the Jones’.
Let us know if you have questions. We’re here to help pick out the right tree for you!

Description: | Great for:
|
|
Aleppo Pine (Pinus halepensis)
|
This beauty is dense and shapely, and the most traditional of our trees. She has baby needles that grow tightly together and have a bluish tint. | Low maintenance
Easy to care for |
|
Blue Cedar (Cedrus deodora)
|
This handsome chap has an open branch structure, but be warned! He’s pretty spiky and should be handled with care. | Load it up with hanging ornaments |
|
Leylandi Cypress (Cupressus leylandii)
|
This fluffy, fun-loving beauty is easy to care for and won’t drop her needles all over the carpet. She has that familiar Christmas scent and her upright branches are full and bright green. | More tree, less ornaments. Leylandi’s branches aren’t as strong to hold heavy ornaments. |
|
Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata)
|
This guy is a lover, not a fighter, but with some tender loving care, he’ll look and smell great all season long. He’s a lush green tree with long, graceful arching needles. | Monterey Pine’s slightly open branching structure lends itself to more elaborate decorations. |
|
Little Sequoia (Sequoia s. ‘Aptos Blue’)
|
He looks cute now, but this little fella could grow to become the tallest tree in the world. | Little Sequoia’s perfect for small spaces or as an additional decoration, and his soft needles make him friendly to children and pets. |
