Winter wonderlands are rare here in Texas. But one Christmas tradition remains: cutting your own tree.“When you cut it yourself, you know it’s fresh,” says Larry Emerson of Dewberry Farm in Brookshire. “Some trees at big-box stores may have been cut a month or two ahead of the holiday. They don’t last as long.”The Leyland cypress, Virginia pine, Murray cypress, and Blue Ice variety of the Arizona cypress on offer at Dewberry Farm take about four to five years to grow tall enough for display in the typical living room. Before you head to one of these top Texas tree farms, heed Emerson’s No. 1 tip: Measure your ceiling height before you cut your tree!Concho Christmas Tree Farm Christoval Concho ChristmasTreeFarm.com 325.896.7575Dewberry Farm Brookshire Dewberry ChristmasTrees.com 866.908.FARMElves Farm Denison ElvesFarm.com 903.463.7260Pipe Creek Christmas Tree Farm Pipe Creek PipeCreekChristmasTrees.com 210.426.6191Seiler’s Christmas Tree Farm Seguin Seilers ChristmasTrees.com 830.401.4590
