12 Christmas tree farms in the south

Want an extra special tree this year? Then why not support a local Christmas tree farm? We've made it easy with this list of 12 beloved Southern Christmas Tree Farms, by state.

Updated November 2025.

There is something magical and seasonally inspiring in visiting a Christmas tree farm. And since most southern properties typically don’t yield a picture-perfect 7-14 foot pine tree, it is especially heartwarming to know we have many Christmas tree farm options in each state.

With a freshly cut tree you bring lovely greenery into your home and, in cutting off lower branches to place your tree in its stand, you will have trimmings to craft into wreaths or decorations.

Some tree farms are now also offering potted live tree options—which you can plant in your yard after the holidays and even hypoallergenic trees for those sensitive to traditional pines.

[Side note: You can also recycle your tree by leaving it out in your yard in its stand for the birds to shelter in or hang suet balls, or use the boughs as protective mulch for perennials or even to start a new mulch pile.]

5 Reasons to Go-Real This Christmas

Sure, you could buy a fake tree and just be done with it (pine needles and all). But before you go-artificial consider these facts:

Fake trees may contain lead and other toxic chemicals
Fake trees are not biodegradable and do not benefit wildlife
Most fake trees are made overseas
For every real tree that is cut, another is planted in its place
Going to a tree farm creates priceless family memories..which is what the holidays are all about
