We Speak Christmas Tree

Bob Altum began selling fresh cut trees to his landscape customers more than 60 years ago. And now Bob’s daughter, Dana, and grandson, Kirk carry on the tradition in Zionsville, with hand-selected Fraser Firs fresh from North Carolina.

You can pre-order yours ahead of time, specify height and characteristics (extra full, tall and thin, more natural looking, etc.), and we’ll set the best-of-the-best aside for you.
