Louisiana Choose and Cut Christmas Tree Farms – The List

(KMDL-FM) For a large number of Louisiana residents, the Thanksgiving Weekend will play out like this. Today, we buy food. Tomorrow we will eat food. Friday, we shop for Christmas. Saturday, we decorate for Christmas. And there will be football games interspersed as well. And, there will also be an excursion to get a Christmas Tree.

How Many Americans Choose an Artificial Tree over a Live Tree for Christmas?

For over 80% of Americans, that excursion to get a Christmas Tree will only involve a short trip up the rickety steps that lead to the attic. From there, an artificial tree will be pulled down, dusted off, and set up for the season. The remaining 17% of us will get a live Christmas Tree.

For some, that live tree will come from a Christmas Tree lot where the trees have been professionally trimmed and trucked in from places like Oregon, North Carolina, and Michigan. You can expect these temporary business locations to begin popping up as early as today in some cities in Louisiana.

What Are The Hazards of Having a Live Christmas Tree?

The problem with a "live" precut tree is that it tends to dry out. That means a fire hazard, so you have to take certain precautions, or you can get a freshly cut tree from a Louisiana choose and cut Christmas Tree farm. The Southern Christmas Tree Association has a complete list of those kinds of farms in the state.

These are certainly not the only choose and cut farms across the state, but these are the only ones that have membership in the Southern Christmas Tree Association. This association assists growers in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi in the creation, cultivation, and harvesting of their annual crop. Membership standards keep the quality high and the expectations higher.
