***TREE STATUS***
This page was last updated on December15th, 2011.
Many of our customers drive out from either Minneapolis or St. Paul and even the southern suburbs. This page, indeed this entire web site, is intended to make sure you have all the necessary information before you leave home. This is one of the big family outings of the year and we want it to be great -- no surprises, no disappointments. Expectations exceeded!
The following is the status of both the choose and cut trees available for cutting in the field and those available in our lighted pre-cut lot. The old maxim: shop early for best selection, does apply.
Notice -- a short video of the pre-cut lot taken just ahead of our season opening has been posted on YouTube. Search on pinesteadtreefarms (all one word) and view "Pinestead Pre-Cut Lot 2011".

All trees--U-cut or pre-cut get the same full service treatment. We'll shake them to remove the dead needles, bale them, drill them for a spiked tree stand if necessary, and tie them on your vehicle at no additional charge. In addition, we'll put a fresh cut on pre-cuts. Of course all the fun family activities are available to pre-cut customers, for example, many pre-cut customers will also take a hay wagon ride through the fields.
***TREE PRICING***
All trees in the field are pre-priced with a easily seen red and white tag that identifies the type of tree, it's size, and the price. If there is no price tag, the tree is being held back for a future year and it is not available for cutting. Please respect our tagging system as it helps to insure that you have a good selection of full sized trees in future years.
Our U-cut pricing is based on a establishing a baseline price for a 7' to 8' USDA premium (a good-all-the-way-around tree). Smaller trees or with a bad side or other blemishes such as a bent leader are marked down accordingly. Likewise a larger 8-9 foot or 9-10 foot tree is marked up accordingly.

Our Pre-cut pricing is typically several dollars per tree more then the U-cut pricing , but likewise can vary considerably in either direction depending on the size and quality of the tree. Some "blue ribbon" trees that we consider state fair contest candidates are premium priced. Prices on pre-cut trees can range from under $10.00 for table top trees to over $100.00 for 10' to 12' premium Fraser Firs.
