Fraser Fir
Fraser firs are native to the Appalachian Mountains and have an attractive, symmetrical shape with dense foliage, which provides an ideal canvas for ornaments and decorations. Their soft, fragrant needles have a pleasant aroma and tend to hold onto the branches well, reducing needle drop and maintenance. Additionally, the sturdy branches can support a variety of ornaments, making them a popular choice.
Noble Fir
A West Coast classic, noble firs are known for their sometimes bluish-green hue and dense branches. They have an elegant, pyramid-like shape and sturdy branches that can accommodate heavy ornaments.
Nordmann Fir
Another West Coast favorite is the Nordmann Fir. Known for its lush dark green needles that are soft to the touch. They have a pleasant, mild fragrance, it is not as strong as some other Christmas tree varieties, making them a good choice for those who prefer a subtler scent.
Each holiday season, shoppers find themselves confronted with a choice: celebrate with a fresh, real tree, or one that is artificial plastic or aluminum. What most people don't realize is that the best choice has always been the traditional and natural choice - a Real Christmas Tree.
Real Christmas Trees Benefit the Environment.
While they're growing, Real Christmas Trees support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and emitting fresh oxygen.
The farms that grow Christmas Trees stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts. Often, Christmas Trees are grown on soil that doesn't support other crops.
Real Christmas Trees Are Renewable.
Real Christmas Trees are grown on farms just like any other crop. To ensure a constant supply, Christmas Tree growers plant one to three new seedlings for every tree they harvest.
On the other hand, artificial trees are a petroleum-based product manufactured primarily in Chinese factories. The average family uses an artificial tree for only six to nine years before throwing it away, where it will remain in a landfill for centuries after disposal.
Real Christmas Trees Are Recyclable.
Real Christmas Trees are biodegradable, which means they can be easily reused or recycled for mulch and other purposes.
Most fake trees (85%) in the U.S. are imported from China. Almost 10 Million fake trees were sold worldwide in 2003.
Most artificial Christmas trees are made of metals and plastics. The plastic material, typically PVC, can be a potential source of hazardous lead. The potential for lead poisoning is great enough that fake trees made in China are required by California Prop 65 to have a warning label.
Overloaded electrical outlets and faulty wires are the most common causes of holiday fires in residences - these are just as likely to affect artificial trees as Real Trees.
In 2004, the Farmington Hills Fire Department in metropolitan Detroit conducted a test of how real and artificial trees react in a house fire. The artificial tree, which was advertised as “flame retardant,” did resist the flames for an amount of time, but then was engulfed in flames and projected significant heat and toxic smoke, containing hydrogen chloride gas and dioxin.
Are fake trees better for the environment?
As mentioned before, most artificial trees are manufactured in China and contain PVC (polyvinyl chloride). In fact, artifical Christmas Trees were recently added to the Center for Health, Environment & Justice's list of household products containing PVC.
According to the Children's Health Environmental Coalition, the manufacture of PVC creates and disperses dioxins, which include the most toxic man-made chemical known. Released into air or water, dioxins enter the food chain, where they accumulate in fatty tissues of animals and humans, a potential risk for causing cancer, damaging immune functions and impairing children's development.
This issue is especially concerning due to China's weak enforcement of environmental regulations.
Our Story
At age 17, Jim McLeod thought it would be fun to set up a small lot and sell Christmas trees. In years past, he had sold trees as a part-time job and enjoyed it enough to venture out on his own. So, he got to work and established his first tree lot on Hillsboro Road in the Grassland area in 1985.
Jim was proud that Santa's Trees was one of Williamson County’s first Christmas tree lots.
As the county grew over time, so did Jim’s business. Santa's Trees expanded from one lot to three lots in the first six years. Now, along with the growth in the greater Nashville area, Santa’s Trees operates eight locations and includes Hillsboro High School, East Nashville Magnet School, 12th South, Brentwood, Cool Springs, Grassland, Hendersonville, and Mt Juliet.
Every Christmas, Jim's 120 staff members are eager to share in the holiday experience. They include seasonal workers, such as teachers, landscapers and musicians, who come back each year to work at the lot. About 15 staff members have been with Santa’s Trees for at least 12 years or more. They say there’s nothing better than selling the centerpiece to so many families’ Christmas, and that’s why they love their job so much.
Not only does Santa’s Trees make tree-shopping enjoyable and informative, it offers a high-quality product at a great value. Since Santa’s Trees began in 1985, Jim has prided himself on selling only premium Fraser Fir Christmas trees. They are freshly cut every week, with a dark green color, lush foliage, excellent needle retention and strong branches. The trees’ ability to withstand heavy ornaments makes them a top seller. Fraser Firs are considered to be the top-of-the-line Christmas tree available.So come on down to one of Jim's lots, say hello, and check out some of the beautiful Christmas products. Santa's Trees has loved being a part of your holiday tradition for the last 30 plus years and can't wait to share many more with you.

Santa's Trees' Fundraising
We offer your school or nonprofit organization the opportunity to raise funds by operating a partial Christmas tree sale or a full traditional Christmas tree lot. Please contact us for more information regarding the opportunities available for your area.
Brentwood High School
With the help of the HG Hill Realty and US Bank in Brentwood, Santa's Trees has donated a portion of the Franklin Road lot's annual proceeds to Brentwood High School—raising more than $100,000 since 1996 to help the booster club support Brentwood students.
Centennial High School
In 2008, Santa’s Trees began operating a tree lot at 530 Cool Springs Blvd in partnership with Brookside Properties and Walgreens, who made the site available. Thanks to their generosity, Santa’s Trees donates a percentage of profits from the Franklin lot every year to Centennial High School.
East Magnet School
In 2015, Santa’s Trees began operating a traditional Christmas tree lot at 110 Gallatin Avenue for the East Magnet School which provides funds for student incentives and awards. The onsite sale was a giant success and we look forward to helping make this an annual tradition for the community in East Nashville
Hillsboro High School
The seasonal Christmas tree sale and fundraiser has been a tradition at Hillsboro High School for more than three decades. In 2014, Santa's Trees was selected to take over the Hillsboro tree lot. The money raised pays for student supplies and staff development, says HHS principal Terry Shrader. “It’s something we count on,” he says.
