C & J Christmas Trees
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Boone, North Carolina · Watauga County
A family-owned choose-and-cut farm on Brookshire Road outside Boone, with Fraser firs from tabletop size up to about twelve feet and Santa visits and food on busy weekends.
C & J opens in mid-November and stays open on weekdays as well as weekends for most of the season, which spreads out the crowds. Trees are priced by the foot.
