The Michigan Christmas Tree Association is proud to provide you with the 2006 directory of member choose & cut farms. Click here for the Michigan Snowfresh Farms. Our MCTA members welcome you to their farms and are pleased to offer a wide selection of trees grown just for you!  Each of these professional tree growers list the available tree types and services offered at their farm, along with general location on the state map.

Michigan continues to be one of the largest producers of Christmas trees with more than four million trees expected to be harvested this year.  One million will stay in the state and the others will be exported across the U.S. and to several foreign countries.  Our unique growing climate allows Michigan growers to produce numerous varieties of trees in order to better serve the consumer.  Scotch, White and Austrian Pine; Douglas, Fraser, Canaan, Concolor and Balsam Fir; Blue, Norway and White Spruce are among the popular species currently produced for the fresh Christmas tree market.

More and more families are discovering the fun and adventure of cutting their own Christmas tree — a fresh, fragrant, high quality tree, that can not be found elsewhere.

Choose & Cut farms open around Thanksgiving and will sell most of the year's crop in the next two weekends while weather and roads are better.

When properly cared for, real Christmas trees can last in the home from Thanksgiving through New Year's. Upon arriving home, immediately set the tree in a stand holding from one to three gallons of water. Trees are thirsty. They may drink between two to four pints of water per day. If you allow the water level to drop below the end of the trunk, a seal will form, and the tree will stop drinking water. A new cut will be necessary to make it take water again. Be sure to check daily and supply water as needed for a long-lasting happy holiday.

The members of the Michigan Christmas Tree Association wish you a safe and beautiful holiday season. Thank you for choosing a REAL Christmas tree as the centerpiece of your Christmas celebration.
