Pre-Cut Trees for 2024
Learn About Our Tree Varieties
We’re here to help you find your perfect Griswold Family Christmas Tree! Learn about the different types of trees and which one is best for you and your family. Trees will be individually tagged. The majority will range from $60 to $75 depending on size and other factors.
We plan on offering both choose and cut and potted trees in future years and we thank you for your patience as we grow!
Fraser Fir
This Christmas tree has dark blue-green needles with silvery undersides that are short and sturdy. Branches hold up well to larger ornaments, and the tree can typically last around five weeks. They offer a medium, pleasant scent and are named for the Scottish botanist, John Fraser!
Colorado Blue Spruce
Blue Spruce, or “Bruce'' as we fondly refer to them as, are highly fragrant Christmas trees that are iconically known for their frosty blue-ish branches. These trees have strong branches and great needle retention. They’re also extremely pokey! So be sure to wear your gloves when handling.
Balsam Fir
Balsam Firs have medium branch strength and long-lasting needles. Their fragrance is also well lasting and is sure to keep your home smelling like Christmas for the entire length of its stay in your care. When well-cared for, they should last four to five weeks. Fun fact: Balsam Fir resin has medicinal uses and was applied to the wounded in the Civil War!
Douglas Fir
Douglas are among the most popular choices for the holiday season, prized for their soft, fragrant needles and full, pyramid-shaped form. Their lush, bluish-green foliage holds ornaments beautifully and has a delightful citrus-like scent. Fun fact: Douglas firs aren't true firs—they're named after botanist David Douglas, who introduced them to Europe in the 19th century!
Concolor Fir
This variety of Christmas tree has a powdery color and medium scent with hints of orange. They have strong branches great for heavier ornaments and good needle retention. They’re also famously long-lasting. In fact, some suggest that you could keep a Concolor Fir up until Easter with the right TLC, if you wished!
Turkish Fir
We’re excited to offer a select number of Turkish fir this year. They have dark green needles that are soft and the tree has a mild fragrance. They’re also known for great needle retention. The waxy texture of their needles helps them retain their fragrance, making them a popular choice for folks with allergies.
The best Christmas tree choice for the environment is a real tree that is purchased locally and recycled. Highland Tree Farm offers a free recycle program to ensure your tree avoids the landfill and is disposed of in a way that is environmentally-friendly.
