Christmas Trees

Fresh-cut Balsam and Fraser fir Christmas trees from 4 to 10 feet, tabletop trees and live potted trees at both stores from late November. Pick your tree and we’ll give it a fresh cut, drill it for your stand, carry it out and tie it to your roof — free.

Free tree services

Free at both stores, for every tree we sell:

  • Fresh cut — a new cut on the trunk so it drinks water.
  • Drilled for an easy stand — ready for a pin-style stand.
  • Carried and loaded — we carry it to your car.
  • Tied to your roof — when it rides on top, we tie it down.

Balsam or Fraser fir?

Balsam fir is Maine’s classic Christmas tree: soft needles and the strongest Christmas scent. Fraser fir has stiffer branches that hold heavy ornaments and keeps its needles a little longer indoors. Both last through the holidays with daily watering.

Tabletop trees

Tabletop trees stand 2 to 3 feet tall — good for apartments, offices, a porch or a child’s room.

Live Christmas trees

A live potted tree spends a week or so indoors and then goes into the yard. To keep it healthy:

  • Keep it inside no more than 7 to 10 days, away from heaters and fireplaces.
  • Water the pot whenever the top inch of soil is dry.
  • Move it to an unheated garage or porch for a few days before it goes outside.
  • Dig the planting hole in November before the ground freezes, or keep the tree in a sheltered spot with mulch around the pot and plant it in spring.

Keeping a cut tree fresh

  • Put the tree in water within a few hours of the fresh cut.
  • Check the water every day — a fresh tree can drink a gallon a day at first.
  • Keep it away from heat vents, fireplaces and woodstoves.

Frequently asked questions

How tall a tree do I need?

Measure your ceiling and leave room for the stand and the topper — for an 8-foot ceiling, a 6 to 7 foot tree fits well.

Why do you drill the trunk?

Drilling fits the tree to a pin-style stand, so it goes straight in and stands up straight without fiddling with screws.

Will you tie the tree to my car?

Yes — we carry it out and tie it to your roof for free, at both stores.

How long does a cut tree last?

Four to five weeks with a fresh cut and daily water. Fraser fir usually holds its needles a little longer than balsam.
