Guide To Christmas Tree Farms In Eastern Mass.
Trying to find the perfect Christmas tree can be one of the most difficult tasks of the season. Do you go with a real one or a fake? Do you cut it down yourself or let someone else do it? And what kind do you get if you get a live one?
Well, we can't answer those questions for you, but should you decide to go with the real thing, we can help you find a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm nearby.
Before you head out, some things of which to take note:
- Spruces shed their needles faster than firs
- Some farms supply saws, others don't – make sure you check
- Some farms charge per foot, others charge a flat rate no matter the height
- Many Christmas tree farms do not accept credit or debit cards
