Where to get Christmas trees in Charlottesville? Apparently, the day after Thanksgiving is one of the most popular days to get a Christmas Tree. (additions/edits? email me or comment, please!)

My post from 2011 is mostly still accurate, but a few links are dead, so at a friend’s/client’s request, here is an list of places to get Christmas trees in Charlottesville (and surrounding counties, too!). Thanks to the Facebook & Twitter friends!)

Pick your own + pre-cut Christmas trees

• Ralph’s Christmas Trees in Nelson County – we went here for years; it’s wonderful, and you can stop at any of the breweries along the Brew Ridge Trail to make it a full day trip.
• Foxfire Farm in Buckingham County – “Open Friday November 20- December 22”
• Greene Meadows Farm in Greene – “One of the last choose and cut Christmas Tree Farms in Central Virginia!”
• Greene – Corner Store
• Skylark Christmas Tree Farm in Nelson
• Long Meadow Tree Farm in Waynesboro
• Crozet – Boy Scouts in Old Trail and in Great Valu shopping center (we’ve gotten ours from the Boy Scouts for the past few years)
• Ivy Corner Store, who apparently keep theirs in water, so they last longer (and are expensive)
• Earlysville – “The veterans sell beautiful trees for $55.” Near the Earlysville Animal Hospital
• Ivy Nursery
• An aggregated list of where to get Christmas trees in and around Charlottesville.
• Snow’s
• Waynesboro Garden Center
• “If you get it from Gladden Fields in Red Hill then you can show your support for a landowner helping protect one of Albemarle’s most spectacular wetlands.”

Interestingly, two responses were for trees from the attic because of tree allergies. I’d never before thought about that.

Big Stores

• Whole Foods in Charlottesville – they used to (may still) plant a tree for every tree sold. I think we got one here one year.
• Target
• Lowe’s
