Ever wonder how your Christmas tree makes its way from the pristine Canadian mountains to your NYC apartment? Pour yourself some hot cocoa, because we're about to take you on an incredible journey that starts months before the holiday season even begins.
The Story Begins in the Canadian Mountains
While you're enjoying summer in Central Park, we're already thinking about Christmas. That's when our team heads up to the Canadian mountains, where the crisp air and perfect elevation create ideal growing conditions for the most beautiful Fraser Firs you'll find in NYC. These majestic trees develop their signature blue-green needles and full, luscious branches in the pure mountain air, growing into the premium specimens that New Yorkers have trusted for over 15 years.
Choosing Your Tree (Before You Choose It)
Remember that perfect tree you got from us last year? It wasn't luck. Our team spends weeks walking through countless Canadian farms, handpicking each Fraser Fir that will eventually make its way to NYC. We're looking for the characteristics that set our trees apart – dense, full branches, that gorgeous blue-green color, and outstanding needle retention that keeps your floors clean throughout the season.
We're exceptionally selective because we know that tree will end up in someone's home, maybe yours, creating memories that last a lifetime. Each tree we select has to pass our rigorous standards: perfect symmetry, healthy needles with that distinctive blue-green hue, and strong, upward-sweeping branches that can hold even your heaviest ornaments.
The Art of Harvesting
Timing is everything when it comes to harvesting Fraser Firs. Our Canadian partners understand exactly when each tree has reached its peak, ensuring you get the freshest Christmas trees in NYC. It's a science perfected over generations of experience.
When harvest time comes, each tree is cut by hand using techniques that preserve its ability to drink water once it reaches your home. This attention to detail is just the first step in ensuring your tree stays fresh and fragrant throughout the entire holiday season.
The Journey South
Here's where things get interesting. Your tree's journey to NYC is carefully orchestrated to maintain its freshness. Within hours of being harvested, the trees are carefully bundled and loaded onto climate-controlled trucks for their journey from Canada to the heart of New York City.
This isn't just any road trip – it's a carefully planned expedition where every detail matters. The timing, temperature, and handling are all managed to ensure your tree arrives as fresh as the day it was cut.
Welcome to New York
When the trees arrive in the city, they come directly to our facility where each one receives special attention. The most crucial step? A fresh cut at the base of the trunk at the time of delivery. We do this directly in front of your home prior to bringing it indoors. This isn't just any cut – it's specifically designed to open up the tree's pores, ensuring it can drink water properly once it's settled into your home. This fresh cut is why our trees start drinking water immediately upon setup, staying fresh longer than any other trees in NYC.
The Final Leg: To Your Door
This is where the magic happens. Our experienced delivery team brings your tree right to your door, whether you're in a fifth-floor walkup in the East Village or a penthouse on Fifth Avenue. But we don't just deliver – we ensure your tree is set up perfectly and ready to thrive.
Keeping Your Tree Fresh
Here's our secret weapon: our special Tree Life Extension Solution. This carefully formulated blend is designed specifically for Fraser Firs, helping them maintain their gorgeous blue-green color and excellent needle retention throughout the season. The recipe for success is simple: mix one cup of solution with a gallon of water once a week. It's like a spa treatment for your tree, ensuring it stays fresh and fragrant all season long.
