Farm Fresh SC Christmas Tree Varieties
 

Virginia Pine - The most popular Christmas Pine on South Carolina tree farms. Sturdy limbs, long-lasting, great pine scent. Native to upper piedmont and mountain areas.

Leyland Cypress - Incredibly long-lasting when kept in water. Doesn’t shed! Fast becoming the new Southern tradition in Christmas trees.

White Pine – South Carolina is one of the few Southern states growing this Christmas pine, which grows naturally all the way into Canada. Soft blue-green foliage, long lasting with a great pine scent. Takes the longest to grow.

Red Cedar – Most of us in the South had one growing up. Great smell but somewhat prickly. Not as long lasting as pines. Best cut 2 to 3 weeks before Christmas. A Southern Classic!

Carolina Sapphire – A relatively new cultivar of Arizona Cypress. Beautiful blue color and wonderfully aromatic. Longevity is similar to cedar but is soft to the touch!

Deodar Cedar – Branching and needles similar to firs. Great for decorating, sturdy but prickly. Unique musky aroma. Lasts well but, like firs, some inner needle shedding. Native to the Himalayas.
 

Tree Care Instructions:

• Cut 1 inch off of the tree trunk.
• Display in stand with at least 1 gallon of water. (Fresh trees will drink a gallon or two per day!)
