* Gauged by the number of needles retained on January 1st by a tree cut on Thanksgiving and well cared for thereafter. Poor does not mean the tree will simply be a bunch of barren twigs – it will still look presentable, but significantly sparser than when it was cut.

Scotch Pine 6'-7'
More Info
The superb needle retention and stiff branches of the Scotch Pine are its claim to fame as a Christmas tree. A properly treated cut Scotch Pine will retain 80-90% of its needles for over a month, and the branches can hold all but the heaviest ornaments and lights. Even a dried-out Scotch Pine will retain its needles well. Like White Pine, the foliage gives off little fragrance and is rather dense, leaving few gaps for big ornaments to hang freely.
Price and Availability
Scotch Pine may be purchased as choose-and-cut, pre-cut, dug, pre-dug, and mini-dug (what do these mean?). The cut and pre-cut prices are identical, as the dug and pre-dug prices.

1We measure Christmas tree size as the height from the cut to the topmost whorl of branches just below the leader (what if I cut out just the top of a tree?). We measure dug trees from the ground to the topmost whorl.
2Numbers are approximate, based on estimates made of Christmas grade trees at the start of the season. We cannot guarantee availability. Call ahead to verify our stock and, if desired, reserve a pre-cut tree. Note that we will only hold trees until same-day close of business.
