Christmas Tree Types and Prices

Did you Know?

A pick up  truck is not necessary to take home your Mill Hollow Christmas Tree.  Any car is sufficient.  We can place in most car trunks an eight foot or smaller Christmas tree .  If your tree is larger or the trunk is filled with odds and ends, we can place and tie any tree up to 10 feet tall on top of your car roof.  We do ask that you inspect and confirm that we did a suitable job and also not to drive fast on the way home but enjoy the beautiful East Texas Scenery

Virginia Pine Christmas Tree

Virginia Pine Christmas Tree

Branch Close-up

Description-

Virginia pine is a medium needle pine tree with the fragrance one expects from a Christmas tree.  In most trees, you can not see the trunk because of the density of the needles.  All trees have been mechanically sheared to provide the shape and density desired by most of our customers.  The branches of this tree can handle light to heavy weight ornaments.  The Virginia Pine trees marked for sale include many of the much demanded over 10 feet and up to 14 feet in height.  

If this is the year for a big beautiful Christmas tree, do check out "hints".  

Price-

All trees are individually priced based on overall  "perfectness" with prices starting at $17.95 and the maximum being $55.95.  ("Perfectness" is based on Marge's idea of what would make a beautiful tree in our house).  A limited number of children trees or a "tree that only a child would appreciate" are available at $4.95 and $8.95.  Most of these trees are under five feet in height and may have only one good side.  Mechanical tree cleaning at $2.50 and tree packaging at $2.50 are available .    

Leyland Cypress Christmas Tree

Description-

Leyland cypress is a very beautiful and delicate looking tree.  The branches of this tree can handle medium and light weight decorations with no problems.   This tree has no fragrance and may be suitable for your family if they are allergic to pine trees.   Leyland cypress trees marked for sale range from six foot to nine foot in height.    

Price-

All trees are individually priced based on overall "perfectness" with the price being $45.95 to $55.95.   Because of the expense and difficulty in growing these trees especially with the recent Texas drought, no Leyland cypress children trees or those under six foot in height will be available for sale.  If you must have one, the price will be $55.95.   Mechanical tree cleaning at $2.50 and tree packaging at $2.50 are available .       

Arizona Cypress

Christmas Tree

(Blue Ice)

Description-

The Arizona cypress is very similar to the Carolina Sapphire with a pleasant unique smell.  This tree has a unique fragrance which is close to the rosemary herb. Mass planting of this tree did occur in 2005 and should be available as a Christmas tree in 2008.  Based on customer feedback, this Christmas tree will be used as a replacement for the similar Carolina Sapphire.

Price-

All trees are individually priced based on overall "perfectness" with the price being $24.95 to $55.95.   Because of customer demand, very few of these trees are available.    

Japanese Cedar

Christmas Tree

Description-

The Japanese Cedar has been successfully test grown and thrives in the Texas heat and humidity.  It is a light density Christmas tree.  In 2009, the first Japanese cedar was cut and shown to be an excellent Christmas tree.  It held up exceptionally well and provided no evidence of "cedar fever" typical of Texas cedar trees.  

None of these trees will be available this year because of the Texas drought.  

Carolina Sapphire Christmas Tree

Description-

Carolina Sapphire is a very unique tree. The branches of this tree can handle medium and light weight decorations with no problems.   We did test grow this tree with planting of test seedlings in 1998 and did harvest them as Christmas trees in 2002-3.  

We currently have none of these trees growing or available for sale.  Based on this experience, we did a experimental planting of very similar Arizona cypress but with a slightly different and more desirable fragrance .
