Why I keep going back
- Freshness: Our trees have stayed lush and fragrant for four to five weeks with daily watering and a fresh cut on the base.
- Shape: The pruning shows. Trees have dense foliage and a clean, classic cone.
- Choice: Compact trees for smaller spaces through to tall centrepieces. Larger options are available if you call ahead.
- Two simple paths: Choose-and-cut on the farm or order online for home delivery across Melbourne and the Peninsula.
- Family-friendly: Dog on lead is fine. The kids love the weekend tractor rides and Santa visits (10am–3pm, weather permitting).
Service and setup
- Staff help you choose, cut, and bale the tree for easier transport.
- Stands with water reservoirs are available on site. Ours has kept the tree stable and hydrated.
- Delivery has been reliable for us. The tree arrived fresh and handled well, which saved time during a busy week.
What’s worked best for us (practical tips)
- Go early in the season or early in the day for the widest selection.
- Measure your ceiling and the spot for the tree before you go.
- Ask for baling. It makes loading and unloading far simpler.
- Make a fresh 1–2 cm cut on the base before putting the tree in water.
- Fill the stand straight away and top up daily. The first day’s intake is usually the biggest.
- Keep the tree away from heaters, direct sun, and high-traffic doorways.
- Use a drop sheet or old towel for easy cleanup.
- Recycle the tree after Christmas by returning it to the farm. If the gate is closed, place it over the front fence as signed.
What to expect on busy days (transparent notes)
- Peak weekends get busy. I’ve waited up to 20 minutes for baling during the midday rush.
- Some rows close later in the season as stock thins, so be ready for a longer walk to find “the one.”
- Tractor rides and Santa can pause in poor weather.
- Larger trees may need a bit of notice, especially close to Christmas.
Why I rate them
- Decades of consistent quality from a family-run farm.
- Clear hours and a straightforward process on-site.
- Good communication and phone support for special requests.
- Easy delivery option if you’d rather skip the car trip.
- A recycling path that reduces hassle after the holiday.

Their Story
Established over 40 years ago, Christmas Tree Farm grew from a simple belief: Christmas traditions matter.

The farm has built its reputation on consistent quality, friendly service and a relaxed, festive experience that keeps people coming back year after year.
