Congratulations on selecting a fresh-cut Christmas tree!

Nearly all Massachusetts Christmas trees are grown as a farm crop for the primary purpose of harvest.  Your choice of a fresh-cut tree continues the natural cycle of planting, nurturing, and harvesting trees in our state.

Growing Christmas trees is ecologically beneficial—one acre of Christmas trees provides enough fresh oxygen for 18 people. Young trees actively cleanse the air we breathe and create green belts in urban areas providing clean air for all of us. In addition, Christmas tree plantations preserve open space and provide homes for bird habitat, insects, and wildlife.
