Planning the trip

Florida-grown trees and traditional northern firs

Christmas tree farms in Florida often offer two different experiences. Choose-and-cut fields feature trees suited to the state’s climate, including sand pine, Southern red cedar, Carolina sapphire, and Leyland cypress. Farms may also bring in Fraser firs and other cold-climate trees for families who prefer a more traditional shape and fragrance.

The seven farms below maintain working first-party websites and show recent evidence of an active tree season. Four had already published 2026 information when this page was checked on September 21, 2026. Tree supplies can sell out early, so confirm hours, inventory, photography rules, and activity dates on the farm’s website before traveling.

Know the difference

Choose-and-cut or pre-cut?

Choose-and-cut

You select a living tree in the field. Florida-grown varieties can have a different needle texture and shape than a Fraser fir.

Pre-cut trees

These are commonly shipped from cooler growing regions. Ask when the trees arrived and whether the farm provides a fresh trunk cut.

Christmas tree farms to visit in Florida

Open a farm entry for tree options, activities, the street address, current-season information, and the farm’s official website.

Field-ready

What to wear and bring

Closed shoes

Fields can be sandy, uneven, or damp. Wear shoes that can handle dirt rather than sandals or dress shoes.

Work gloves

Gloves make handling branches, trunks, twine, and a hand saw more comfortable. Ask whether the farm supplies a saw.

Sun protection

Florida tree shopping often happens in warm daylight. Bring sunscreen, water, and a hat even though it is the holiday season.

Tie-down supplies

Ask whether netting and roof or truck-bed tie-downs are provided. Bring extra straps if you are uncertain.

Before leaving home

Florida Christmas tree farm FAQ

When do Florida Christmas tree farms open?

Many open from mid-November through the Friday after Thanksgiving. A farm may close early after selling its available trees, so opening dates do not guarantee inventory through December.

What Christmas trees grow in Florida?

Common Florida-grown choices include sand pine, Southern red cedar, Carolina sapphire, Leyland cypress, and Arizona cypress. Exact varieties differ by farm and season.

Can I find Fraser firs at a Florida farm?

Yes. Several Florida farms sell pre-cut Fraser firs shipped from cooler states because Fraser fir does not grow well in Florida’s climate.

Does the farm provide a saw?

Some choose-and-cut farms provide hand saws, while others may have different cutting procedures. Check the farm’s visitor information before bringing equipment.

Are farm activities included with a tree purchase?

Not always. Train rides, Santa visits, animal areas, photography sessions, food, or other activities may operate only on selected dates or require separate admission.

How can I keep the tree fresh?

Make a fresh cut at the base if the farm has not already done so, place the tree in water promptly, and check the stand daily. Florida’s warm weather can dry a tree faster during transport and setup.
