Last weekend we went out and got our Christmas tree at the Farmers Basket in Stroudsburg which is located directly to the left of Ritas Water Ice(which is closed for the season).
Every year since I moved to the Poconos I have gotten my tree from there, initially simply because it was close to where I was living, but even after I moved I still continue to shop there. I’ve gone back year after year because they are always friendly and helpful, are quick and efficient about netting it, cutting the bottom and putting it on the roof. I always try to tip the guy a few bucks, I’ve gone on days that it’s icing and snowing and they’re still out there working and happy about it.
If you’ve ever had a problem with a Christmas tree dying early I’d check a few things: where you bought it from, what type of tree, when you bought it and how often you watered it. So far, knock on wood, I have not had any issues with Christmas trees and I attribute that in large part to where I get my tree and when.
There are plenty of other places to get pre-cut Christmas Trees in the Poconos, but if you’re looking to cut your own tree here is a list of places to check out.
CUT YOUR OWN / CHRISTMAS TREE FARM
All of these are in Lehighton which is about 35 minutes away from Stroudsburg, almost an hour from Mount Pocono, but the closest locations I know of. Many of the locations below also offer pre-cut trees as well.
