PIPE CREEK CHRISTMAS TREE FARM
Types of Trees
Afghan (Eldarica) Pine - This is the primary tree grown at the farm.
Needles are soft, 1½ - 2 inches in length with strong branches. The tree is not real dense which provides space for inside ornaments.
Trees in the field are 5 to 9 feet.
This is the only species of pine which will grow in the high alkaline soil in the Texas Hill Country.
Leyland Cypress - The foilage is feathery and soft. The trees tend to be very dense...no inside space for ornaments
A limited supply of 5 to 7 foot trees is available.
We continue to increase our planting every year of this very popular tree but continue to sell out.
Fraser Fir - This tree can not be grown in Texas so we bring these premium trees from North Carolina.
As soon as these trees arrive at the farm, they are placed in WATER and REMAIN in WATER and SHADE until the customer takes the tree home. Many places advertise their precut trees are "Displayed in water"...ours are KEPT in WATER!
Sizes range from 6 feet to 10/11 feet.
Note: All of our trees are FRESH when they leave the farm! If the trees are KEPT IN WATER AND OUT OF DIRECT HEAT, they should not dry out.
