WE are UNIQUE in CENTRAL NEW YORK- VARIETY: Our trees do not all look alike. We hand-shear them to create overall symmetry, but each has its own character. We shape them to enhance each tree's natural tendencies - you'll find every combination of tall, short, narrow, wide, open and sparse, densely limbed, steeply tapered, and gently tapered. We prefer a more natural appearance, and our regular customers agree. We do not try to make them all look alike as many big farms do. That would take all the fun out of choosing your own! If you enjoy "shopping around" instead of just grabbing one off the rack, we offer that experience.
- EASY CUTTING: You can cut many of our trees at knee-high, waist-high or higher. We've removed branches to make this easy for you. This is called "Pollard" cutting. You cut at a more comfortable height, and leave living branches on the stump, below your cut. We'll grow a new tree from that stump! We are gradually transitioning to an all-Pollard farm. There are many advantages to this practice, both for you, for us, the trees, and for wildlife. See "POLLARDING" Below, and in the GALLERY!
- GIANTS: In 2024 we have many large trees up to 15 feet or more. All sheared. Same price as regular trees! Come and get 'em! You don't have to take the whole tree. They've all got a bare Pollard "waist", so you can cut the top out. See "GIANTS" below and in the GALLERY. You may shorten a giant to your liking!
- SIMPLICITY: We are an an old-fashioned small, Cut-Your Own, no-frills Christmas tree farm. We have no special non-tree items nor bathrooms or other facilities yet, but we may add wreaths, kissing balls, etc. if we get customer interest.
