Christmas Trees – Find the perfect tree, and create memories with your family to last a lifetime!

We grow three different types of Christmas Trees on our farm.

Needles of a White Pine
Soft Needles of a White Pine

White Pine Christmas Trees

These trees are indigenous to our area, while Kansas City is on the northern range of their native area they grow well here.  The needles on this tree are long and soft.  The branches are not particularly stiff so having lights on the tree provides more structure for hanging ornaments. We grow these trees on our farm and will begin allowing “choose and cut” this year!

Scotch Pine Needles

Scotch Pine Christmas Trees

These trees at one time were the most common Christmas tree grown in our area of the country.  A few decades ago a fungus started to spread on the Scotch pine trees which would cause them to turn brown and die.  The branches are stiff and the needles are approximately 1″ long, these trees have excellent needle retention and will hold on to the branches even when the tree dries out.  We still have these trees available to “choose and cut” yourself.  The fungus is not harmful to humans or pets and if the tree looks nice then it has not yet been infected.

Virginia Pine Christmas Trees

The Virginia Pine’s branches are stout and woody. The bark is typical for most pines. It forms plates that are reddish brown in color with shallow fissures or furrows. The bark has a coarse appearance. Virginia Pine responds well to trimming. And, on Christmas tree plantations their foliage can become extremely dense. Virginia Pine has been the staple for the Christmas tree industry in the South since its inception. The Virginia pine needles occur in pairs. They are twisted and range from 1.5 to 3″ in length. They are relatively short when compared to those of other pines. Individual needle clusters can remain for 3 or 4 years. They are then shed and replaced with new needles as the branches grow in length.
