PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 2008
Did you know there’s a Minnesota Christmas Tree Association? With their expertise, we can get info on the types of trees available, tips on how to care for them, and perhaps most helpful of all, information on where to buy them. Many tree farms open the day after Thanksgiving. Visit www.mncta.com or the tree farm’s site for detailed opening hours and specific trees sold, plus additional directions (some addresses listed below are mailing addresses, not exact locations).
