Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Monterey Pine and the Aleppo Pine Christmas Trees?

Both trees have a similar shape and fragrance, but the Monterey Pine has longer, thinner needles whereas the Aleppo Pine has shorter thicker needles. The Aleppo pine tends to do better in our San Diego climate when we replant them.

 How about your two new additions, the Turkish Fir and the Sequoia?

The Turkish Fir is almost identical to a Noble Fir. It’s favored for its attractive foliage, with needles that are not sharp, and  a beautiful aroma. The Sequoia has longer  needles and thiner branches so it really only supports lights and ornaments on its innermost branches.

Why is the delivery fee separate now?

We wanted to get the cost down as low as possible so we are able to have even more people participate this season. PLUS, separating the cost of delivery allows us to charge less in sales tax- Yippee!

Can I come pick out my tree and take it home myself?

Want to view our trees first before purchasing?? Mission Hills Nursery was kind enough to host some of our trees there. You can pick out your tree and have them deliver it or you can pick it up from them. *NOTE: If you want the elves to deliver, you must order online but please feel free to head over to the nursery to get an idea for what type and height you should choose.

Does my tree need natural light to survive?

All trees need light to survive, but for the relatively short time your tree will be in the house (2-5 weeks at most), your tree will be fine even if it does not receive direct sunlight.

Do the living potted trees have the same great smell as cut trees?

Absolutely!  And because the tree stays alive the smell won’t fade like it will with a cut tree. Plus you don’t have needles all over the place.

Can I put lights on my trees?

Of course!  Decorate it just as you would with a cut tree, remembering to observe all proper fire safety regulations.  If you really want to help the environment, make sure you use LED lights, which we now offer!
