Trees for Less Nursery
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Mequon, Wisconsin · Ozaukee County
A family nursery on the north edge of Mequon where you can ride a free hayride out to the balsam and spruce fields, cut your own tree and warm up by a weekend bonfire.
Saws and tarps are available, or staff can cut the tree for you. Netting and loading onto your car are free. The choose-and-cut fields grow balsam fir and spruce, and fresh-cut Fraser and balsam firs are sold by the foot.
On weekends the farm adds photos with Santa, a bonfire, hot cocoa and snacks, and wreaths tend to sell out early. Cards are accepted along with cash and checks. Tree delivery can be arranged by phone, and the nursery also sells evergreens for planting in your yard.
