There are several Christmas tree farms near Vancouver where you can select and cut your own tree. There is nothing like the aroma of a fresh Christmas tree. It fills the home with a warm, welcoming, sweet smell of a forest.
How to Choose the Best Christmas Tree
- Bring a measuring tape. Don’t buy a tree too big for your space. The tree should be at least 12 inches shorter than the height of your ceiling.
- Make sure the size of the tree trunk will fit into the stand.
- Think of how your decorations will look on it. If the branches are too close together, it may be hard to decorate.
- Does the tree look healthy? If it’s already losing needles, walk away.
What types of Christmas Trees are available near Vancouver?
- Norwegian Spruce branches have vibrant green needles and are often a Christmas favourite.
- Douglas Fir is one of the most popular trees. It produces a sweet, mild fragrance. The blue and green needles are soft and round. The tree is pyramidal in shape.
- Blue Spruce is a more expansive, symmetrically shaped tree with branches ranging in colour from green to blue.
- Noble Fir trees have open, stiff, strong branches to hold large, heavy decorations. The needles are coloured in shades of greyish green on top and whitish blue on the bottom.
- Fraser Fir trees are fragrant and perfect for tighter spaces because of their naturally slender shape. They are known for the greatest needle retention of all the Christmas trees offered. The soft needles are dark blue on top and silver blue on the bottom.
How to Keep a Christmas Tree Alive
Follow these simple steps to keep a Christmas tree alive throughout December.
- The first step is to choose a healthy tree.
- If you can’t set the tree up right away, store it outside in a protected area with the trunk submerged in a bucket of water.
- Trim about 1/2 inch from the tree trunk before setting it in a tree stand that can hold at least one gallon or 4 litres of water.
- Keep the Christmas tree well hydrated to prevent it from losing needles. Every morning, check to make sure the trunk is at least two inches of fresh water.
- Some people like to add sugar or a capful of Miracle-Gro® to the water, but this is not necessary.
- Keep the tree away from direct sources of heat, like a fireplace or heat vent.
Christmas Tree Shortage
Buy your Christmas tree early. The summer heat dome in the Fraser Valley continues to cause a Christmas tree shortage.
Before visiting any of the locations listed below, check to see if they still have a good selection of Christmas trees available. The farms will close when the stock is low.

I’ve never exactly seen these tree farms in the vicinity of Vancouver, so I am a bit surprised to know about them, to be honest. However, all in all, I do hope that I’ll see them sooner rather than later.
I hope you will get a chance to visit the Christmas tree farms when they open up again for the festive season. There is nothing like the scent of a freshly cut tree. Thanks for visiting my website. I hope you will see some other great local experiences you may not know about on here.
