How do I care for my tree?
Follow these tips to keep your tree fresh and safe.
• We will provide a fresh cut for your tree to take in water. Be sure to provide abundant fresh water
and place your tree away from direct sunlight, fireplaces, and HVAC vents that could dry out your
tree. We sell tree preservative to help extend the life of your tree.
• If you buy your tree more than 24 hours before you plan to set it up, store the tree outdoors in
and area sheltered from sun and wind until you are ready to bring inside.
• Use a tree stand that holds plenty of water. Your tree is thirsty and will need up to a 4 liters of
water a day. Use warm tap water and optional tree preservative (sold at Shipley Farms). If you
allow the water level to drop below the bottom of the tree, a seal will form just as it does on a cut
flower and a new cut will be necessary to allow the tree to continue to take in water.
• Turn off the tree lights when you leave and overnight.
Following these measures should ensure a beautiful Christmas tree that stays fresh through the holiday.
Can I cut down my own tree?
All of our trees are pre-cut and freshly delivered from Michigan. This allows us to get beautiful tree varieties that don’t grow in Arkansas.
When is the best time to come pick my tree?
The Farm is busiest on the weekends. Visit us during the week or weeknights for a quieter, relaxing experience. But don’t wait too long, we typically sell ½ of our inventory in the first 2 weekends.
Can I reserve my tree?
Yes! You can come select your tree and pick up at a later date or use our online pre-order form and we will select your tree and have it ready for you to pick up.
