them from frost.

Our own Christmas Trees still need a few more years to grow, so in the meantime
we've ordered Fraser Firs from our cousin's tree farm in Christiansburg, VA.
The sizes of the fir trees will be 5' - 6', 6' - 7', 7'- 8', 8'-9' and 9' -10'.
We have a limited amount of 9' -10' fir trees coming in. We will also have a
few 6' - 7' White Pines here as well. Christmas trees will go on sale the
Friday after Thanksgiving. We'd be happy to help you pick out your tree,
provide you with a fresh cut on the base of your tree, and tie it to the top of
your car at no extra charge (courtesy of our Southern Hospitality). Come
early to make sure you get your BIG, BEAUTIFUL TREE!
