Growing Minnesota's Real Christmas Tree Industries
The Minnesota Christmas Tree Association is a nonprofit organization that promotes real Christmas trees and related industries by educating growers, improving tree quality, creating community, and connecting consumers to growers.
Find the Perfect Tree
The Minnesota Christmas Tree Association can help you learn about trees types, find your perfect tree, guide you in tree care, and assure you that celebrating the holidays with a real Christmas tree truly benefits the environment.
Why Buy a Real Tree?
Did you know that real trees are actually better for the environment? The sustainable nature of most small-scale Christmas tree farms makes buying real trees an ethical, environmentally-friendly choice.
State Fair Showcase
The Minnesota Christmas Tree Growers Association is proud to showcase their MN Grown products each year at the MN State Fair. We have been competing in the Christmas Tree division in the Agriculture Horticulture (AGHORTBEE) Building since 1966!
