UBC Christmas Tree Farm

Our website has been published! Please make sure you like us on Facebook, check out our website and b All trees are hand-pruned for shape and appeal.

Established by the Forestry Undergraduate Society (FUS) in 2006, the Christmas Tree Farm has over 200 trees, potted as well as field-planted, representing over a dozen species. This Christmas season, the Christmas Tree Farm will be opening its first year of business selling Christmas Trees to customers from UBC and surrounding communities. Revenue generated from the sale of trees supports the Fore

stry Undergraduate Society and a portion of proceeds from every sale will be donated to the UBC Farm and David Suzuki Foundation. We pride ourselves in growing high quality, no spray Christmas trees using environmentally safe and responsible techniques and methods. Every Christmas Tree at our farm is breathing fresh air and living a happy life. We have 70 trees in the field to choose from this Christmas season, a third of which are potted, live trees! Larger trees can be pre-cut for you, or you can come with your family and participate in our U-cut. Make sure to head down to the Farm and pick your favourite tree before we sell out! Dates of operation will be posted ASAP.
