Live Christmas Tree Farms in East Texas

At Christmas, there's nothing better than walking into a home and smelling the fresh scent of a Christmas tree. They all smell great, whether it's a fir, pine, or spruce.

As a kid, my family had a green tree for Christmas for a couple of years and then we upgraded and got the white 'snow' flocked tree. That flocked tree was beautiful, but it made a mess on the red carpet that was in our living room!

After having those live trees when I was growing up, I have always wanted to visit a Christmas tree farm and pick out my own tree and chop it down but I've just never done it.

Using an artificial tree over a real one is a personal choice and each has a list of pros and cons. However, having a 'real tree' as the Christmas tree is a family tradition for a lot of East Texans.

Real trees can be purchased at a variety of locations - a Christmas tree lot on the corner pf a busy street or from the big box hardware or retailer or the grocery or convenience store sometimes. Oftentimes you can't see the condition of the tree because it's all wrapped up in netting. There is another way to get a real tree and that is from a local tree farm.

When you get a tree from a real farm you can see exactly what the tree looks like. Its height, shape, and density - are just a few things that are important when it comes to picking out the right tree for you. Plus, you know that the tree was freshly cut and wasn't cut down weeks ago and shipped in on a truck.
