Owned and operated by the Alfeldt family, the farm operates as a choose-and-cut destination during the Christmas season and adds a secondary nursery window in spring and fall for balled-and-burlapped trees. **What makes Alfeldt's Nursery & Christmas Tree Farm special?** A working tree farm with decades of continuous growing history sets this operation apart from lot-based or pre-cut retailers. A few things worth knowing before visiting: - **Field varieties**: White Pine and Scotch Pine anchor the choose-and-cut field, with Norway Spruce, Green Giant Arborvitae, and Leyland Cypress also available. Fresh-cut Fraser Fir, Balsam Fir, and Douglas Fir ship in for the season as an alternative. - **Dug and balled trees**: Balled-and-burlapped White Pine and Norway Spruce are available during the Christmas season; spring and fall bring a broader rotation of B&B hardwoods, spruce, and pine. - **Greenery and gifts**: Beyond trees, the farm stocks wreaths, garland, grave blankets, grave pillows, greens bundles, swags, sill sitters, and crosses, alongside an in-house gift shop carrying ornaments, tree toppers, skirts, and stands. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - For many customers, visiting the farm is a multigenerational tradition — reviewers describe returning year after year, bringing children to the same fields where their own parents first took them. - Grave blankets and pillows draw a loyal annual following, with customers noting they return specifically for this product each season. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/alfeldts-nursery-christmas-tree-farm-oakdale 43feaeeecd7b2fe2ae2e26d917b6477d Sun, 24 May 2026 02:04:03 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries
