is a favorite Christmas tree grown in Iowa. These trees are grown at
the farm so customers can choose and cut a tree down or pick from our freshly
pre-cut trees. Needles are 1 to 2 1/2 inches in length.
Price - $5 a foot for trees up to 9 foot in height. Taller trees are available
at a slightly higher price.

White Pine
also grown in Iowa, is fluffy and very soft to the touch. It has needles
longer than the Scotch Pine, usually 2 to 3 inches in length. This tree
will not hold heavy ornaments because it's branches are very limber.
Price - $6 a foot for trees up to 9 foot in height. Taller trees are available
at a slightly higher price.

to grow. Their branches are great for hanging heavy ornaments and the deep
green needles are preferred by many Iowans. The back of the needle is a
silver/blue color. Needles are about 1 inch in length.
Price - $7 a foot for trees up to 9 foot in height. Taller trees are available
