Measure the ceiling height in the room where the tree will be displayed. The trees in the field look small when the sky is the ceiling. Don’t overbuy.
Measure the width of the area of the room where the tree will be displayed. Most trees on the farm are trimmed to an 80% taper. So a tree that’s 10’ tall will be 8’ wide. A tree that will fit in the room vertically may be entirely too big horizontally.
Are there any individuals in the household who are allergic to pine? If so, consider another species such as Spruce or Fir.
What decorating theme will be used? Ask us which species is best suited to your needs. For example, some species are better at holding heavy ornaments and decorations.
Go to the farm prepared for a day in the country. Wear comfortable shoes and old clothes. Bring rain gear if the weather is threatening. The “cutter downers” and the “loader uppers” should also have gloves. DON’T FORGET THE CAMERA.
Remember, the Christmas trees purchased from Guse Christmas Trees are as fresh as a Christmas tree can ever be!
