Here are my picks for
Christmas tree dealers selling fresh trees online. A Christmas tree bought online can cost more but will save you valuable holiday time, is usually a fresher tree and can help you avoid crowded lots. It is especially handy to gift order for someone who can't get out. Some companies will ship as early as mid-November and some take orders through December 15th. I've selected popular home-grown businesses, several of which I have personally traded with and have reviewed.
Touch of the Mountain Christmas TreesTouch of the Mountain Christmas Trees & Greens is a family owned business and located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. TMCT&G's specialty is Fraser fir Christmas trees, wreaths and greenery. "Our trees are harvested within hours of shipment, a patented tree stand is attached and shipped in a waxed-coated box from our farm to your front door. Our entire product comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee", says operator Daryl Smith. Review: UPS was two days past drop date (not TMCT&G's fault) with the review tree and a few needles were dropping. Still, the tree is healthy, beautifully shaped with care tips included. The stand is a major purchase advantage. *Trees shipped UPS, all major credit cards accepted. (6' Tree Reviewed)
