Bring your holiday cheer—everything else is taken care of! We provide saws, kneeling pads, and twine for tying your tree to your car or securing it in the back. Since the holiday season in Oregon is often wet, we recommend wearing clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting a little muddy. Our friendly helpers are always available if you need an extra hand.

Cutting your own tree gives you the freshest possible start! To keep your tree looking great through the season, follow these simple tips:
Don’t remove the bark around the trunk—it’s essential for carrying water up the tree.
If you can’t get your tree into water within 20–30 minutes of cutting, trim an extra inch off the base before placing it in the stand.
Make sure the trunk isn’t sealed against the bottom of the stand so it can absorb water properly.
Check the water level daily (morning and evening) and never let it run dry—larger trees drink more!
Keep your tree away from heat sources to prevent drying out.

Shaking removes loose needles and debris that collect in the branches, helping keep your floors cleaner and bringing out that fresh Christmas tree scent.
-
Baling wraps your tree in netting to hold the branches in place. It makes your tree easier to carry, transport, and set up at home. Once it’s standing, simply cut the netting and let the branches fall naturally.

It depends on the species! A 6-foot Noble Fir typically takes 5–6 years to mature, while a Douglas Fir can reach that height in about 3–4 years.
