It’s finally here: Time to get the Christmas tree up and decorated. While the appeal of an artificial tree may draw you in (pine needles everywhere can be a drag), nothing beats coming home to the smell of pine and cedar — which is why we’ve created a list of where you can get a real Christmas tree near Philadelphia.
Want a fresh-cut tree, but not into axe-swinging? No problem: Some of these spots will chop it down for you and shake out the excess needles before hitching it to your car. Others offer both live trees in burlap and pre-cut trees in any size you need, ranging from petite three-footers to giants that will scrape the ceiling. And if you don’t want to travel for your tree this year, a few heroic local delivery services will deliver one to your home, and even set it up for you if you like. Read on to find the best Christmas tree option for you.
Christmas Tree Delivery Options
The Christmas Tree Stand
267-225-7931

If you’re really in a hurry to get in the holiday spirit, they even offer next-day delivery if you order before 4 p.m. And you can add on tree removal and recycling later, so you don’t have to stress once the holidays are over.

Christmas Tree Farms in Pennsylvania
Arasapha Farms
