NC-grown Fraser Firs are the ONLY real tree to get.... this coming from a NC native. 
Sorry, I can't make any local recommendations on tree lots; I always go to my favorite choose and cut, Twin Pines on Hwy 221 between Linville and Pineola in Avery County, NC.
I HOPE no one recommends a fake tree for "environmental" reasons. Christmas trees, most of them anyway, are a cultivated crop and renewable resource. Most tree growers in western NC are using better practices now, with fewer or no pesticides and herbicides. The tree industry provides a livelihood for a lot of people in a region where good-paying jobs are virtually non-existent. Off my soapbox now.  |

I figured i'd bring this post back from the dead instead of making a new one. Where does everyone get their trees from?

If there is such a thing as a cut your own tree farm here, I would do that. Coming from an area that supplies a lot of the country with Christmas trees, I can tell you that many, many, of them are cut and on the trucks by early Oct.

We've made a tradition of going to Boyd Tree Farm just outside Waynesville/Maggie Valley:
Boyd Mountain Cabins Rentals in Maggie Valley & Waynesville North Carolina
It makes a nice half-day family trip, and then we usually stop in Asheville for a nice lunch or dinner. And, it's a pretty drive up there... |
