A Houston Christmas tree run can be a quick stop on the way home or the outing that kicks off your whole holiday season. You can walk a field with a saw, browse firs at a neighborhood nursery, or have someone carry the tree inside and straighten it before you hang a single ornament.
One thing to know before you leave home: the trees you cut yourself in local fields are pine or cypress. The Fraser, Noble and other firs sold around Houston are grown in cooler climates and arrive pre-cut. We cover both, plus a showroom for an artificial tree you can bring back out next year.
Need a quick answer? Old Time for a classic family farm day, Spring Creek for the widest mix of trees, Trinity for a Fraser fir delivered and set up, Plants For All Seasons for custom flocking, and Holiday Acres for a south-side farm afternoon.

Christmas Tree Lots, Nurseries and Showrooms in Houston
These are the quick, close-to-home options: pre-cut firs you can pick up after work or have delivered. Inside the Loop comes first, then the suburbs. Want an artificial tree instead? Arcadia, the last stop in this section, is the showroom to visit.
Trinity Tree Lot
4813 Larkin St, Houston, TX 77007, USA
Trinity is the move when the tree itself is the main event. The North Carolina Fraser firs come in a few silhouettes, so you can go slim for an apartment or full for a big living room. Reserve one for pickup, or pay for white-glove delivery and let someone else carry it in, set it up and straighten it. Want to see trees before ordering? Contact the lot to set up a visit. Details: 4813 Larkin Street, Houston. Visits are by arrangement. Delivery and the stand are priced separately from the tree; at early-bird pricing, a 7-foot Fraser delivered within 10 miles with Trinity's stand came to $367.50 before tax. A suitable stand of your own may work. 713-703-7930.
Buchanan's Native Plants
611 E 11th St, Houston, TX 77008, USA
Buchanan's turns a tree errand into a Heights outing, especially on Saturday, December 5, when the holiday open house brings live jazz, local vendors, food trucks and activities for kids. You don't need to wait for the event; call to ask when trees arrive. Details: 611 East 11th Street, Houston. Open house December 5, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., free. Ask about tree arrival, sizes and prices. 713-861-5702.
Tanglewood Flowers & Garden
5518 Dolores St, Houston, TX 77056, USA
This Galleria-area florist makes sense when your list goes beyond the tree. Fraser firs sit alongside wreaths, garlands, poinsettias and flowers, and the shop will light the tree for you. It's a good place to start for a coordinated look, or a smaller tree that still feels like a centerpiece. Details: 5518 Dolores Street, Houston. Fraser firs typically run 3–14 feet, subject to stock. Pickup or delivery; ask for a quote covering the tree, lighting and delivery. 713-572-1226.
Cornelius Nursery
2233 S Voss Rd, Houston, TX 77057, USA
Cornelius is the practical pick for a classic fir and a no-fuss nursery visit. Expect Fraser and Noble firs, flocked trees, wreaths and garlands. A fresh-cut tree comes with a water stand, a transport and disposal bag, and help loading the car, which matters when you're comparing its price with a tree-only quote elsewhere. Details: Six branches: 2233 South Voss Road, Houston; 1403 Westborough Drive, Katy; 26710 FM-1093 Road, Richmond (Katy-Fulshear); 7311 N Grand Parkway W, Spring; 6720 Highway 90A, Sugar Land; and 2014 45th Street, Galveston. All are on the map. Trees usually arrive mid-November, but call your branch first since selection varies. Delivery is available; get the quote for your address.
Moon Valley Nurseries, Katy-Houston
11222 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77043, USA
Despite the name, this one's on the Katy Freeway in west Houston, an easy stop for Memorial and nearby neighborhoods when you just want to grab a pre-cut tree and get home to decorate. The winter lineup includes Noble, Fraser and Douglas firs. Details: 11222 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77043. Call to check opening day and which varieties and heights have arrived.
Plants For All Seasons
21328 TX-249, Houston, TX 77070, USA
For a snow-dusted tree, start here. This northwest nursery sells fresh-cut trees and does custom flocking, colored finishes included. Pick your tree in person, talk through the look, and ask how long flocking takes before you plan pickup. Details: 21328 State Highway 249, Houston, TX 77070. In-store purchase. Call for arrival dates, sizes and flocking prices. 281-376-1646.
Michigan Christmas Tree Guys
2008 Rayford Rd, Spring, TX 77386, USA
Choosing the species is half the fun here. Fraser, Concolor and Grand firs are on offer alongside spruce and flocked trees, and three lots put a specialist close to home in the north suburbs. Delivery and custom flocking are available. Details: Lots at Theiss Farm Market (2008 Rayford Road, Spring), 2520 FM 1488 in Conroe and 12223 Northpointe Boulevard in Tomball. Call for opening dates. Call ahead if you're after a particular variety. Tree removal after the holidays is arranged through an outside contractor. 281-826-1320.
Enchanted Forest
10611 FM 2759 Rd, Richmond, TX 77469, USA
A good southwest pick when you want to browse a garden center along with buying the tree. Trees, wreaths and garlands are all here, so it works for Richmond and Sugar Land households putting the whole house in Christmas mode. Details: 10611 FM 2759, Richmond, TX 77469. Not to be confused with sister nursery Enchanted Gardens. Ask about tree arrivals, sizes and prices. 281-937-9449.
Derrick's Christmas Trees
4711 Center St, Deer Park, TX 77536, USA
Derrick's is the southeast side's traditional tree lot, and the one to try for a tall tree or a flocked finish. Trees run 4–15 feet, from the Pacific Northwest and North Carolina, and the crew can prune or flock to order. Wreaths, garlands and stands round out the trip. Details: 4711 Center Street, Deer Park, TX 77536. Call for the opening date. 346-255-1328.
Arcadia Floral & Home Decor
11015 S Sam Houston Pkwy W, Houston, TX 77031, USA
Arcadia is the showroom to visit if you want to see how a tree looks fully decorated before you buy. The holiday displays show different shapes, colors and themes, pre-lit or unlit, with ribbon, ornaments and toppers to match. Bring your room measurements and a few photos of the space; the point is comparing scale and finish in person. Details: 11015 S. Sam Houston Parkway West, Houston, TX 77031. November–December hours: Monday–Saturday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Sunday noon–6 p.m.; closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Ask about stock, custom styling and lead times. 281-222-6246.

Cut-Your-Own Christmas Tree Farms Near Houston
A farm trip is part shopping, part tradition. In the fields you'll find Virginia pine (classic pine scent, sturdy branches for ornaments) and cypress (dense, soft foliage, a lighter scent, better for lighter decorations). Every farm below also sells pre-cut Fraser firs if that's the tree you love decorating. Wear shoes that can handle a field and leave enough daylight to pick, cut and load without rushing. From Cypress or Hockley, start with Family Roots; from Pearland or Manvel, Holiday Acres. Houston traffic can turn a small gap on the map into a long drive, so check your actual route before choosing.
Old Time Christmas Tree Farm
7632 Spring Cypress Rd, Spring, TX 77379, USA
Old Time is the classic family tree-cutting day: walk the rows of pines and cypresses, find the one that fits your living room, then bring it back for shaking and baling. Pre-cut Fraser firs are there too if you'd rather skip the saw, and there are extra attractions for kids at an added cost. Details: 7632 Spring Cypress Road, Spring, TX 77379. Opens November 21; check the farm calendar for open days and arrive by 5 p.m. to cut. Free entry at Christmas. Field trees start at 5 feet ($85), pre-cut 6–7-foot Fraser firs are $129 and tabletop firs $39, plus tax. Saws and measuring sticks provided. Leashed pets welcome. 281-370-9141.
Spring Creek Growers
23803 Decker Prairie-Rosehill Rd, Magnolia, TX 77355, USA
Spring Creek lets you pick the experience as well as the tree. Cut a Virginia pine or Leyland cypress in the fields, browse pre-cut Fraser, Noble and Nordmann firs, or ask about a container-grown Leyland cypress you can plant after the holidays. With a hayride, bakery and farm activities, give it more time than a quick shopping stop. Details: 23803 Decker Prairie-Rosehill Road, Magnolia, TX 77355. Opens November 21. Field trees must be at least 6 feet; a 6-foot Virginia pine is $82. Every car needs a $20 Farm Use Voucher (online or at the gate), credited toward a tree of 6 feet or more, or $80 of eligible merchandise, the same day. Saws, shaking, baling and loading help included. Leashed dogs welcome. 281-371-9138.
Family Roots TX Christmas Tree Farm
19020 Becker Rd, Hockley, TX 77447, USA
Family Roots is the easy country outing for Hockley and Cypress: pick a Virginia pine in the fields, take a hayride, and browse seasonal treats and handmade wreaths. Pre-cut Fraser firs are on hand too. Remember High Star Christmas Tree Farm? Same farm, new name. Details: 19020 Becker Road, Hockley, TX 77447. Open Fridays–Sundays, November 21–December 13, while trees last. Free admission and parking; hayride $2. Field trees must be at least 6 feet; call for this year's prices. Staff will help lift the tree onto your vehicle, but bring straps and tie it down yourself. Leashed pets welcome. 346-702-1300.
Holiday Acres
8919 Mustang Bayou Rd, Manvel, TX 77578, USA
Holiday Acres is where to start from Manvel, Pearland and the south side. It's a slower country Christmas: choose a Virginia pine, take a hayride, then warm up with cocoa or mulled cider by the campfire. Pre-cut Fraser firs are available too. Good for families who want the tree outing to be the whole afternoon. Details: 8919 Mustang Bayou Road, Manvel, TX 77578. Opens November 27; tree sales Tuesday–Thursday 1–5 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., closed Sundays and Mondays. A tree purchase includes admission, the hayride, cocoa or cider, shaking, baling and help tying on. Call for this year's prices. Leashed dogs welcome. 281-317-0586.
Dewberry Farm
7705 FM 362, Brookshire, TX 77423, USA
Dewberry is the west-of-Houston pick for a Murray cypress. A wagon takes you out to the fields, and there's help with cutting if you want it. Limited pre-cut Fraser firs too. Details: 7705 FM 362, Brookshire, TX 77423. Tree sales November 27–29, December 5–6 and December 12–13, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.; arrive by 1 p.m. Free entry for tree shopping; shaking and baling included for trees under 11 feet, and tie-on help is $10.

Tips for Buying a Christmas Tree in Houston
- Measure first. Check ceiling height, width, and your door or elevator, leaving room for the stand and topper. A broad tree can swallow a room even when it clears the ceiling.
- Check the tree itself. Outer branches should bend rather than snap, and green needles shouldn't come away in your hand. Skip brittle or discolored trees; a few interior needles dropping is normal.
- Keep it watered. Get a fresh half-inch cut straight across the trunk and put it in water right away. Use a stand that holds about a quart per inch of trunk diameter, check it daily, and stick to plain tap water. Keep the tree away from heat and direct sun.
Once the tree is up, our Houston Christmas bars and holiday pop-ups guide has ideas for a festive night out.
Make a day of it. Dewberry's evening lights are in our Houston Christmas lights guide, Old Time's Santa photos are in our Houston Santa guide, and CRAFTEX and other decorating stops are in our holiday shopping guide.
