Q.
Should I bring my own chain saw to cut down
my award winning tree? I like lots of horse
power!
A. Not
neccesary. We have plenty of saws and for safety reasons,
we do not allow customers to operate any power equipment
such as chain saws.

Q.
Where are the big trees?
A. A
little sense of adventure is needed for this
search. The
entire farm is always open for searching. Every
tree is available and there is no particular
area where
there is an abundance of a certain type or size tree.

Q.
Will I need to wear boots and be prepared to trudge
through the snow?
A. The
farm is entirely outdoors. Depending on the weather
the parking lots can even be wet. Precut trees
are a way to avoid walking through the farm. If
you plan
on venturing out to cut down your own tree you
should be prepared to do a lot of walking. Maple
Row Tree
Farm has many acres of trees for you to look through!

Q.
How long does it take to grow a tree?
A. A
tree takes about four years from a seed to the time it
is large enough to be put into the field. After this it
will take on average about a foot a year. Different varieties
will grow slower or faster than others.

Q.
What kind of tree will keep its needles the longest?
A. Firs and Pines
will hold their needles longer after being cut than a
spruce will. It is important however to remember that
each tree is in itself individual, and for this reason
a specific tree may not hold its needles. Maple Row Farm
guarantees all trees in that if it does lose a large
number of needles prior to Christmas by returning the
tree we will provide another free of charge or a certificate
for a tree the following year.

A. Take
a look at our Maps section.

Q.
Where can we park - there will be a group of
us?
A. Although
we do our best to provide smaller groups with the ability
to park together, we cannot guarantee this. Upon arriving
please speak with someone from the farm. Unless previously
arranged, we cannot guarantee space for tailgating and
picnicking.

Q.
Why don't you accept credit cards?
A. We
are an outdoor business. Due to the conditions we are unable
to accept credit cards. We do accept cash and check as
payment.

Q.
What
tree
gives
off
the
best
smell?
A. Each
tree type does smell and has its own unique smell. The
easiest way to tell what a tree smells like is to break
a needle or the end of a branch. This will let out aroma.
Similarly in the home cutting a few branches every day
will cause the tree to be more fragrant.

Q.
Can
someone
help
us
tie
the
tree
on
the
car?
A. We
try to provide our customers with the highest level of
customer service. Unfortunately during our busier weekends
we are unable to assist in tying on trees to cars. We do
however provide twine for this. During the week we try
our best to assist. Your understanding is appreciated.

Q.
Can
I
bring
my
dog?
A. We do allow
dogs. In order to be respectful to all other tree hunters,
we do require that your dog be on a leash at all times
when on the farm.

Q.
I
have
a
shovel. Where
can
I
go
to
dig
up
my
Christmas
tree?
A. Believe
it
or
not
we
do
not
allow
nor
do
we
dig
out
any
trees.
It
is
said that there is as much
of
a tree underground
as
there
is
above.
Therefore,
to
dig
out
a
six-foot
tree
not
grown
to be dug would require a root
ball
