Broken Arrow Nursery
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Hamden, Connecticut · New Haven County
A Hamden nursery that has grown Christmas trees since 1947, with two cut-your-own fields where you can pick from fir, spruce and white pine, plus pre-cut and live potted trees.
The main field on Evergreen Avenue has the widest mix, including tall balsam, Douglas fir and white pine; the Broken Arrow Road field is smaller and can close early in December when stock runs low. Saws and measuring poles are provided, and power saws are not allowed.
Pre-cut trees range from tabletop size to about 14 feet. The nursery also sells handmade wreaths, roping, greens and tree stands. Weekdays are calmer than the busy holiday weekends.
