We have three varieties of Leyland Cypress ready this year. The Murray is a darker green with stronger branches, less dense foliage and more aroma than the classic Leighton Green Leyland. Naylor's Blue is a droopy Leyland with stronger branches and dense blue/green foliage. We also have Thuja Green Giant. They are similar to Leyland, except are more open with stronger branches and more aroma.
The Leyland range from 5 to 10 ft. White pine are all large, from 11 to 15 ft. and one 21 ft. We have all sizes of Virginia Pine, up to 18 ft., Eastern Red Cedar 5 to 7 ft. and Carolina Sapphire up to 10 ft. The tree size is measured from the ground to the highest point that will support a tree top ornament and rounded down to the nearest half-foot.
We also have precut Fraser fir, 5 to 11 ft. Our supplier reduced prices, so our prices are reduced, accordingly.
Living Christmas tree -
will be in short supply again this year. We have some Carolina Sapphire and Deodar Cedar in 15 gallon pots, but they are small trees.
Payment -
We accept Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express and many bank debit cards as well as cash and checks.
History - Homestead Christmas Tree Farm was started in 1979. When we bought the farm in 1992, Virginia Pine was the most popular Southern Christmas tree. Virginia Pine was in all of the fields with some Leyland Cypress planted near the woods. The deer eat the top out of the Leyland, so they took a long time to become large enough for Christmas trees. We've planted some of every tree that has been recommended for a Southern Christmas tree. Now Leyland Cypress is our most popular tree, but the Virginia pine is still a popular choice. For us working at the farm, this season requires a lot of hard work. Visiting with customers that we only see once a year is quite enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you again this year and have a Merry Christmas.
