Cut Your Own Christmas Tree
Sherwood, Oregon
$25 U-Cut Christmas Trees
$35 Pre-Cut Christmas Trees

Our Christmas Trees are $20.  We’ve worked hard at keeping our costs down so we can provide affordable Christmas Trees to those that want a fun, family experience on a Tree Farm at Christmas time.  This year we have Santa visiting on Dec. 5th and 6th and kids can get their picture taken with Santa for no charge.  We expect a lot of visitors this year due to our low cost Christmas Trees and free picture with Santa!  Should be a lot of fun and we are really looking forward to seeing everyone!

Our new barn is completed!  Our friends will enjoy the new Barn with the wood stove and wonderful views.

We’re also going to rent out our barn and location for special events (weddings, anniversaries, etc.).  We’re looking forward to being part of the special memories that will be created on the Sunny Day Tree Farm!

• We keep the tree farm well groomed, but there are some things that are beyond the farmer’s control. Be careful of tree stumps, an occasional blackberry vine, uneven ground and sharp saws.
• Go to the farm prepared for a day in the country. Wear comfortable shoes or boots, warm clothes and rain gear. The “cutter downers” and the “loader uppers” should also have gloves. And don’t forget to bring your camera!
• Saws are provided by the farm, but they may be in use already so you may want to bring your own if you have one!
• Some farms measure and price their trees individually, others sell them by the foot. All our trees are $20!
• Select the tree that fits your predetermined needs. Check the trunk to be sure that it is sufficiently straight. Keep in mind that pines will usually have, at least, some crook in their trunks. Also check that the tree has a sufficiently long handle to accommodate your stand.
• In the fall of the year ALL conifers drop, or shed, a certain portion of their oldest needles. This is a normal part of the life cycle of the tree. This phenomena occurs because the tree is preparing itself for winter.
• Cutting the tree is easiest as a two person project. The “cutter downer” usually lies on the ground. While the helper holds the bottom limbs up. While the cut is being made, the helper should tug on the tree lightly to ensure that the saw kerf remains open and the saw does not bind. The tugging force should be applied to the side of the tree opposite the cut.

Tips on selecting a real tree at a choose your own farm:

• Measure the ceiling height in the room where the tree will be displayed. The trees on the Farm look small when the sky is the ceiling.
• Measure the width of the area of the room where the tree will be displayed. Most trees on tree farms are trimmed to an 80% taper. So a tree that’s 10′ tall will be 8′ wide at the bottom. A tree that will fit in the room vertically may be entirely too big horizontally.
• What decorating theme will be used? Some species have more open foliage, stiffer branches or longer needles.
