Why we sell Noble fir

Every tree on our lot is an Oregon Noble fir, cut on my family's farms in the Willamette Valley. Here's why we chose it.

It's the tree we'd put in our own house

People ask me which Christmas tree is best. My answer is the one we sell. A Noble fir has stiff, evenly spaced branches, so heavy ornaments hang where you put them instead of pulling the branch down. The needles are blue-green and soft to the touch. And it smells like a Christmas tree should.

It holds up in Arizona

Desert air pulls water out of a tree fast. Noble fir needles hold on well in dry air, and kept in water and away from heat, a Noble usually stays fresh for four to five weeks. Bring one home the weekend after Thanksgiving and it still looks good on Christmas morning.

The one thing it needs from you is water. Our tree care page has the five rules.

Straight from the farm

In 1963 my dad and my uncle started cutting Christmas trees in the Sierra Nevada and trucking them to the Bay Area. Today my uncle's farms in Oregon grow every tree on our lot. The farm cuts them, the truck brings them to Scottsdale Road and the 101, and we stand them up. There's no broker and no warehouse in between.

We give every trunk a fresh cut before it goes on your car.

One price by height

Our Noble firs run from a 3–4 ft tabletop at $49 up to 11–12 ft at $569. Every price is on our Trees & Prices page and on the sign at the lot. Not sure what height fits? Our size guide walks you through it.
