Choose and Cut

The annual Christmas Tree “Choose-and-Cut” season at the Nieman Tree Farm begins in  mid November.

Visiting our Christmas Tree Farm, where you select your own tree, is a memorable experience.

Select and Cut Christmas Trees

• We have a great selection of Fraser Fir available to cut, including a few White Pine,
• White Fir and Blue Spruce
• Sizes range from 6 feet to 12 feet and up.
• As far as we are able to determine, we have the only Kentucky grown Fraser Fir.
• We sell only trees grown on our farm
• We will gladly cut and load your tree for you – you merely need to select it.
• You are welcome to cut your own tree if you wish – we will tie it up, provide a saw, and
  load it.

Pre-Tagging Service – many of our customers do this

• You are invited to come to our farm in October and November, when the weather is pleasant, to select your tree.
• We will tag it and cut it just prior to the date you select to pick it up.
• Call Tom at 859-552-3532 or email at tnieman2@windstream.net

Balled and Burlapped Trees – to plant in your yard after Christmas

• Norway Spruce – the best tree for planting
• White Fir
• White Pine
• To assure that the tree you select is as fresh as possible, we do not dig a tree until it is selected. When the tree is dug you can pick it up.

Caring for your tree

• A Christmas tree should be healthy and well-shaped with a straight trunk. It should have pliable needles, a great fragrance and good color.
• If you get your tree several days before it is to be brought in and decorated, we advise placing it outside in the shade, on a covered porch, or in an unheated garage.
• Place the tree in water as soon as possible as water is crucial for keeping it fresh.
• Keep the tree in water, and refill the container daily – some trees may absorb as much as two quarts a day.
