Looking to get a Christmas tree this holiday season? Our guide to local delivery services and farms has you covered. / Photograph courtesy of Getty.
It’s finally here: Time to get the Christmas tree up and decorated. While the appeal of an artificial tree may draw you in (pine needles everywhere can be a drag), nothing beats coming home to the smell of pine and cedar — which is why we’ve curated a list of where you can get a real Christmas tree near Philadelphia.
Want a fresh-cut tree, but not into axe-swinging? No problem: Some of these spots will chop it down for you and shake out the excess needles before hitching it to your car. Others offer both live trees in burlap and pre-cut trees in any size you need, ranging from petite three-footers to giants that will scrape the ceiling. And if you don’t want to travel for your tree this year, a few heroic local delivery services will deliver one to your home, and even set it up for you if you like. Read on to find the best Christmas tree option for you
Christmas Tree Delivery-Only Options
The Christmas Tree Stand
