The weekend after Thanksgiving is traditionally when most Christmas tree shops and farms have there display. You will find the farms or lots that have the fresh Christmas trees and you can choose from a Fraser Fir, Leyland Cypress, Carolina Sappphire, Virginia Pine, Sand Pine, Red Cedar and many others. These are found on the farms or in lots by the road side. Natural disruption (insects, disease, fire, drought or ice) can cause regional Christmas tree shortages which can make certain Christmas trees species hard to find? Plan early for the pick of the crop.
