Welcome to Becks Christmas Tree Farm
   The BEST Christmas Tree Farm in PA

Harvesting your live Christmas tree is a fun, memory-making holiday activity that's great for the whole family. Becks' cut-your-own Christmas Tree Farm is located in the rolling hills of the Lehigh Valley, PA. With many varieties and sizes to consider, families can take their time finding a tree that fits their home. Cutting your own tree helps ensure that it is fresh throughout the holiday season. Breathe deeply as you walk around the farm and enjoy the scent of fresh pine in the air.

Visitors are provided with a saw and a wheeled tree cart to carry a selected tree from the field to the baling area. The tree can then be shaken, prepared at the stump if needed, and wrapped for transport. The hardest part is choosing between so many different shapes and varieties.

Before cutting, carefully measure the available floor space and ceiling height at home. Leave extra room for a traditional star or angel. Look at freshness, branch spacing, texture, and fullness as well as overall shape. A very dense tree may leave less room for larger decorations, while a sparse tree may not support heavier ornaments. Taking a few extra minutes in the field makes decorating easier later.

• Decide on where you will place the tree. Will it be seen from all sides or will some of it be up against a wall? Be sure to choose a spot away from heat sources, such as TVs, fireplaces, radiators and air ducts. Place the tree clear of doors.
• Do a little research on different Christmas tree types. Take a look at our tree varieties to the right.
• Measure the height you have available in the room where the tree will be placed. There is nothing worse than bringing a tree indoors only to find it's too tall. Take a tape measure with you and bring a cord to tie your tree to the car.
• If you are not putting the tree up right away, keep it in a sheltered, unheated area such as a porch or garage to protect it from the wind and sun until you are ready to decorate it. Make a fresh one inch cut on the butt end and place the tree in a bucket of warm water.
• When you decide to bring the tree indoors, make another fresh, straight cut across the base of the trunk (about a quarter inch up from the original cut) and place the tree in a tree stand that holds a gallon of water or more. If you need a stand, you will find one of the best and easiest to use at our farm.
• Warning: Keep the tree stand filled with water. A seal of dried sap will form over the cut stump in four to six hours if the water drops below the base of the tree, preventing the tree from absorbing water later when the tree stand is refilled. If a seal does form, another fresh cut will need to be made. Commercially prepared mixes; aspirin; sugar and other additives added to the water are not necessary. Research has shown that plain water will keep a tree fresh.
• A tree will absorb as much as a gallon of water or more in the first 24 hours and one or more quarts a day thereafter. Water is important because it prevents the needles from drying and dropping off and the boughs from drooping. Water also keeps the tree fragrant.
• Check connections and cords before hanging them on the tree to make sure they're in good working order. You don't want to use cords with cracked insulation or broken or empty sockets. Also be sure to unplug the lights before you go to bed or leave the house. Never overload electrical circuits.
• It's a nuisance to water a Christmas tree once it's decorated with a tree skirt and surrounded by presents. Here's an easy solution, buy a funnel and a 3 to 4 foot length of vinyl tubing to slip over the funnel outlet. Fasten the funnel/tube with a twist-tie or twine in an out-of-the-way but reachable part of the tree. Extend the tubing down the tree trunk and into the tree stand reservoir. Now you can water the tree through the funnel without bending over or disturbing the tree skirt or its ornaments. Kids love this job.
• Recycle your tree after Christmas. Many communities will pick up trees and turn them into chips.
