A lot has changed from the 1940's when my Grandfather would pull a station wagon with a small homemade trailer from Northern Wisconsin to the bustling sidewalks of Chicago peddling wild Balsam Christmas Trees on busy sidewalks! Today, we have several well established locations in the North Side of Chicago and Northern Suburbs. Each has it's own distinct personality both in terms of sizes and physical attributes, but also each reflects the neighborhood around it!
Some have said our locations are like a stroll back in time! Or maybe a few steps above popular Christmas Movies!
Walk onto any of our lots and you will be greeted by a personal sales associate. They will research the size and character of your "perfect" Christmas tree, pull it out of the stand and display the best candidates, discuss pricing, limb as necessary and cut the bottom to fit in your tree stand, secure it to your vehicle, and give you advice how to care for it inside your home.
You do not even have to touch a single tree! However, you will want to sample the fresh fragrance!
