Santa's Trees Supports North Carolina Hurricane Victims
For 40 years, Santa’s Trees has worked hand-in-hand with the tree growers of Western North Carolina to find the best trees for our customers here in the Nashville area.
This year, our North Carolina friends are hurting, after the devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. To rebuild these communities will take years. But that’s what they plan to do.
In 2024, Santa’s Trees is committed to helping them in that effort. Each week we'll be highlighting a community in need.
We plan to make a donation to the charities mentioned below for every tree we sell this Christmas season and we hope you will consider joining us in this effort.

Christmas Tree Varieties
While Santa's Christmas Trees specializes in Fraser Firs from Noth Carolina, we also have a selection of trees from the West Coast. What tree would look best in your home?
Fraser Fir
Fraser firs are native to the Appalachian Mountains and have an attractive, symmetrical shape with dense foliage, which provides an ideal canvas for ornaments and decorations. Their soft, fragrant needles have a pleasant aroma and tend to hold onto the branches well, reducing needle drop and maintenance. Additionally, the sturdy branches can support a variety of ornaments, making them a popular choice.
Noble Fir
A West Coast classic, noble firs are known for their sometimes bluish-green hue and dense branches. They have an elegant, pyramid-like shape and sturdy branches that can accommodate heavy ornaments.
Nordmann Fir
Another West Coast favorite is the Nordmann Fir. Known for its lush dark green needles that are soft to the touch. They have a pleasant, mild fragrance, it is not as strong as some other Christmas tree varieties, making them a good choice for those who prefer a subtler scent.
Tree Care Instructions
Keep your tree greener for longer with these simple tips
Making the Cut
As part of the Santa's Trees service, we make a straight cut across the trunk about half an inch from the base. This will help the tree absorb water more effectively.
Use a tree stand with a water reservoir
Place your tree in a stand that can hold water. A typical rule of thumb is that a tree can absorb about a quart of water per inch of trunk diameter. Be sure to keep the water level above the base of the trunk to prevent it from drying out. The Cinco brand stands that Santa's Trees sells are made to accomplish this.
Placement
Position your tree away from radiators, heating vents, fireplaces, and other heat sources. Excessive heat can cause the tree to dry out more quickly. If placement away from a vent is not possible, cover the vent.
Water your tree regularly
Check the water level in the tree stand daily, especially in the first few days. A hydrated tree will stay fresh longer. Do not let the water level drop below the base of the trunk, as the tree may seal itself off, making it more difficult to rehydrate.
Each holiday season, shoppers find themselves confronted with a choice: celebrate with a fresh, real tree, or one that is artificial plastic or aluminum. What most people don't realize is that the best choice has always been the traditional and natural choice - a Real Christmas Tree.
Real Christmas Trees Benefit the Environment.
While they're growing, Real Christmas Trees support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and emitting fresh oxygen.
The farms that grow Christmas Trees stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts. Often, Christmas Trees are grown on soil that doesn't support other crops.
Real Christmas Trees Are Renewable.
Real Christmas Trees are grown on farms just like any other crop. To ensure a constant supply, Christmas Tree growers plant one to three new seedlings for every tree they harvest.
On the other hand, artificial trees are a petroleum-based product manufactured primarily in Chinese factories. The average family uses an artificial tree for only six to nine years before throwing it away, where it will remain in a landfill for centuries after disposal.
Real Christmas Trees Are Recyclable.
Real Christmas Trees are biodegradable, which means they can be easily reused or recycled for mulch and other purposes.
Most fake trees (85%) in the U.S. are imported from China. Almost 10 Million fake trees were sold worldwide in 2003.
Most artificial Christmas trees are made of metals and plastics. The plastic material, typically PVC, can be a potential source of hazardous lead. The potential for lead poisoning is great enough that fake trees made in China are required by California Prop 65 to have a warning label.
Overloaded electrical outlets and faulty wires are the most common causes of holiday fires in residences - these are just as likely to affect artificial trees as Real Trees.
In 2004, the Farmington Hills Fire Department in metropolitan Detroit conducted a test of how real and artificial trees react in a house fire. The artificial tree, which was advertised as “flame retardant,” did resist the flames for an amount of time, but then was engulfed in flames and projected significant heat and toxic smoke, containing hydrogen chloride gas and dioxin.
Are fake trees better for the environment?
As mentioned before, most artificial trees are manufactured in China and contain PVC (polyvinyl chloride). In fact, artifical Christmas Trees were recently added to the Center for Health, Environment & Justice's list of household products containing PVC.
According to the Children's Health Environmental Coalition, the manufacture of PVC creates and disperses dioxins, which include the most toxic man-made chemical known. Released into air or water, dioxins enter the food chain, where they accumulate in fatty tissues of animals and humans, a potential risk for causing cancer, damaging immune functions and impairing children's development.
This issue is especially concerning due to China's weak enforcement of environmental regulations.

Can you pick out a tree to be delivered without me traveling to your location?
Sure thing. We call those "We Picks". The term “We Pick” means you have waived the right to choose your own product and that the Santa’s Trees staff will choose one for you. No returns are accepted for trees meeting height specifications. Trees are measured floor to tip before any additional cuts are administered and any approved returns must occur at the time of delivery. Delivered trees picked by the Santa’s Trees Staff must be 7’or taller
Are you a Tree Farm?
No. We operate traditional retail Christmas tree lots which are located in commercial areas around the Greater Nashville area. We source our fresh Christmas trees from Premium farms in North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington. We do not operate any farms or have plantable trees.
Can I schedule a photography session for a client at your tree lot and is there a fee?
Our tree lot is designed for customers to select and purchase their tree while enjoying the Christmas season. We love for our customers to document their experiences and make memories with us.
How much are your trees?
Trees are priced by the height, grade and type of tree. Each location has various inventory and pricing and you would need to visit one of our locations to see what we have available.
How much are your wreaths and garland?
Wreaths and garland are priced by size, type greenery and any potential enhancements. Each location has various inventory and pricing and you would need to visit one of our locations to see what we have available.

Can I get added to the delivery schedule before I pick out my tree? Is pre-ordering available?
To be added to the delivery schedule, you must first have placed an order by phone/email or have picked a tree out and paid for it at one of our locations. We do not allow delivery scheduling without a purchase.
Can get a treemen to put my stand on if I bring it with me to the lot?
Yes! We'll be happy to stand your tree after purchasing as long as it's a Cinco stand previously bought from us. We exclusively sell Cinco stands (they are really the best) and will only offer this service for our stands. We've seen too many inferior stands fall, break, or fail to hold water and can not be held responsible for damage caused by them. There is only one stand we can stand by (no pun intended). Buy from us once, and never worry about standing a tree ever again.

Our Story
At age 17, Jim McLeod thought it would be fun to set up a small lot and sell Christmas trees. In years past, he had sold trees as a part-time job and enjoyed it enough to venture out on his own. So, he got to work and established his first tree lot on Hillsboro Road in the Grassland area in 1985.
Jim was proud that Santa's Trees was one of Williamson County’s first Christmas tree lots.
As the county grew over time, so did Jim’s business. Santa's Trees expanded from one lot to three lots in the first six years. Now, along with the growth in the greater Nashville area, Santa’s Trees operates eight locations and includes Hillsboro High School, East Nashville Magnet School, 12th South, Brentwood, Cool Springs, Grassland, Hendersonville, and Mt Juliet.
Every Christmas, Jim's 120 staff members are eager to share in the holiday experience. They include seasonal workers, such as teachers, landscapers and musicians, who come back each year to work at the lot. About 15 staff members have been with Santa’s Trees for at least 12 years or more. They say there’s nothing better than selling the centerpiece to so many families’ Christmas, and that’s why they love their job so much.
Not only does Santa’s Trees make tree-shopping enjoyable and informative, it offers a high-quality product at a great value. Since Santa’s Trees began in 1985, Jim has prided himself on selling only premium Fraser Fir Christmas trees. They are freshly cut every week, with a dark green color, lush foliage, excellent needle retention and strong branches. The trees’ ability to withstand heavy ornaments makes them a top seller. Fraser Firs are considered to be the top-of-the-line Christmas tree available.So come on down to one of Jim's lots, say hello, and check out some of the beautiful Christmas products. Santa's Trees has loved being a part of your holiday tradition for the last 30 plus years and can't wait to share many more with you.

Santa's Trees' Fundraising
We offer your school or nonprofit organization the opportunity to raise funds by operating a partial Christmas tree sale or a full traditional Christmas tree lot. Please contact us for more information regarding the opportunities available for your area.
Brentwood High School
With the help of the HG Hill Realty and US Bank in Brentwood, Santa's Trees has donated a portion of the Franklin Road lot's annual proceeds to Brentwood High School—raising more than $100,000 since 1996 to help the booster club support Brentwood students.
Centennial High School
In 2008, Santa’s Trees began operating a tree lot at 530 Cool Springs Blvd in partnership with Brookside Properties and Walgreens, who made the site available. Thanks to their generosity, Santa’s Trees donates a percentage of profits from the Franklin lot every year to Centennial High School.
East Magnet School
In 2015, Santa’s Trees began operating a traditional Christmas tree lot at 110 Gallatin Avenue for the East Magnet School which provides funds for student incentives and awards. The onsite sale was a giant success and we look forward to helping make this an annual tradition for the community in East Nashville
Hillsboro High School
The seasonal Christmas tree sale and fundraiser has been a tradition at Hillsboro High School for more than three decades. In 2014, Santa's Trees was selected to take over the Hillsboro tree lot. The money raised pays for student supplies and staff development, says HHS principal Terry Shrader. “It’s something we count on,” he says.
