Christmas Tree Farms in Montana

1 are listed here, as of 2026-10-09, across 1 county; 1 of them offer choose and cut. The list is compiled from public listings and Montana growers association directories, so a farm that has no web presence may be missing.

Most open the weekend after Thanksgiving, Friday through Sunday, and stay open until the middle of December or until the trees run out. Hours differ from farm to farm and change with the weather, so check the farm's page or call before you drive.

The farms listed here name Balsam fir, Blue spruce and Scotch pine most often. Montana trees come mostly from national forest with a permit, and the few farms in the western valleys sell fir and spruce pre-cut for families who skip the drive.

Yes. 1 of the listed Montana farms are choose and cut, which means you walk the field and cut a standing tree yourself, usually with a saw the farm lends or rents. Call first in a wet or snowy week.

At a farm, no: you pay for the tree. On public land, often yes, and the agency sets the rules. The MyWild permit guide for Montana lists the units, the dates and the agency's own wording.

The National Christmas Tree Association (realchristmastrees.org) publishes growing and care guidance and links to state associations.

Make a fresh cut of about a half inch off the base before it goes in the stand, keep the stand full of plain water (about a quart a day for each inch of trunk diameter), and keep the tree away from heat vents, fireplaces and direct sun.
