It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
It seems like more of us are getting Chrissy-ready earlier and earlier each year don’t you think?
Well, if you’re not quite Chrissy-ready as yet, this handy list of places to buy fresh, yummy-smelling trees should start you off!
And if we happen to come across any more locations in our travels, we promise to be good little elves and add them here soon as we do.
Southern Highlands Christmas Farm
Hoo boy, we’re beyond excited to pick out a tree from here.
From 22 November, drop into the farm during Harvest Barn trading hours (Thursday–Sunday, 9am–5pm, no bookings required), wander through the Christmas tree plantation and pick your favourite. The team will do the rest – cutting, carrying, netting and prepping your tree so it’s ready to roll.
Make a day of it with picnic areas, friendly farm animals and a browse through the Christmas shop, or opt for delivery within the Southern Highlands if you’d rather not lug your tree home.
There’s also a feel-good bonus: $5 from every Christmas tree sold is donated to Dementia Australia.
These fresh, stunning trees are locally grown in Wingello, and are available for order now.
Best part of all is they deliver and also offer a pick up service from the 2nd to the 6th of January. Yes please!
You can grab your tree stand and ask for installation as well.
These quality trees are a local fave each year.
No need to pre-order, they will be open from 29 November on weekends only until sold out.
Just head over or text ahead of time to ensure he is open and that there are trees available.
Remember this is a working farm so wear fully enclosed shoes for safety.
Always such lovely trees – they get snapped up quickly, so make sure you give them a call to pre-order yours.
Potted trees are already available and pre-orders are now open for the 6ft and 8ft trees.
They’ve got heaps of potted pines in already, so they can be reused year after year [what a great idea!]. Give them a call to organise yours or just pop in.
Mount Murray Nursery in Moss Vale have potted Christmas variety trees available [these are slow growing so can be used over and over again!].
Grab a tree that will grow with time with one of the miniature trees at this nursery in Kangaroo Valley. They’re perfect for smaller spaces and also make a great gift.
They also have Norfolk Pines that reach about 1.5m.
Cut Christmas trees will be available from December at Harris Farm.
This boutique nursery has preorders available already on their website. With local delivery starting from late November.
You will also find them at their Mittagong Pop-Up Event on the 13th of December. There’ll be a good selection of pre-cut & potted trees available.
Christmas tree care & aftercare tips:
What’s the trick to keeping it fresh and festive?
Pop your tree in a stand with some water as soon as it’s home and keep that base topped up daily. Hydrated trees stay greener, smell better, and shed fewer needles.
Where should it live once it’s decorated?
Somewhere cool and away from heaters, aircons, vents or direct sunlight. A space in your home that’s not too warm [thanks summer Christmas] should keep it going well past Boxing Day.
What happens after Christmas?
If you are able to, you can cut your tree into smaller pieces and put it in the Green Bin for collection. If it’s a bigger one you will probably need to drive it out to the Resource Recovery Centre in Moss Vale and pay a disposal fee.
Can a potted tree be reused next year?
Sure can! Keep watering it over the year and replant in a sunny spot. With a little love, it’ll be ready to shine again next Chrissy.
