Cornwall and Devon Christmas Tree Farms 2024

Whether you want to cut your own tree, pick a live tree and have it cut for you, buy a tree already cut or buy a living tree you can plant, this page provides detailed listings of Cornwall and Devon's choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, places to buy pre-cut (also called pre-harvested and fresh-cut) trees, stands, sleigh rides, Santa's Grotto, hay rides and related winter events and fun. Some listings are for tree farms, others are tree lots, and some only offer hay rides, sleigh rides or other winter events. READ EACH LISTING to know what each facility offers. The farms are listed further down this page, so scroll down the page! Since this service is free and open to ALL Christmas tree farms, not just those who belong to an association or pay for an ad, like almost all other websites do, this is the most complete and current listing available! I'm always looking for more to add, and to correct any inaccuracies or errors, so if you encounter any, please email me!

See these resource pages:

1. Our Christmas Tree guide with photos and descriptions of more than 2 dozen varieties of Christmas trees, along with a simple comparison chart! And a PDF print version to take to the farm with you!
2. The A-Z of getting your tree and caring for your tree, and
3. Tips to make your tree last longer and not drop needles.
4. Christmas tree price guide 
5. A calculator to accurately cost your Christmas or New Year's dinner and print a shopping list
6. Christmas dinner statistics - what people eat and how much it costs

Tips:

• ALWAYS call the farm or see their website or Facebook page BEFORE YOU GO to confirm their supply, their hours prices and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available.  All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here!
  DON'T GO THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM BY PHONE OR EMAIL OR SEE VERY CURRENT INFORMATION ON THEIR WEBSITE OR FACEBOOK PAGE!
• Many more farms are requiring pre-booking appointments and reservations this year - check on their website.
• If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
• And please tell the farmer you visit in Cornwall and Devon that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.

Updates for November 2024

November: Most Christmas tree farms open on the last Saturday in November; Some open a month earlier to allow you to mark the tree you want while the weather is nicer! Demand for trees will likely be very high this year, and global supply chain issues may reduce supplies of imported trees .Do expect prices to be up about 20%. You can find Christmas tree facts stats and price trends here.

After Christmas, see this page for where, when and how to recycle or dispose of your Christmas tree, lights, decorations, etc. Many areas have kerbside collection!
