Tips for cutting down your Christmas tree from tree farms around Monteagle, TN:

First, don't just head out into the woods and make like Paul Bunyan - that's illegal. A local Monteagle Tennessee tree farm will have much nicer, fuller Christmas trees due to the pruning and care they receive over the years.

Go early. Waiting until the night before Christmas to get your tree may leave you trekking across lots of empty spaces filled with the 'ghosts of trees past' in Monteagle tree farms.

Bring a handsaw (some farms will loan you one). Chainsaws and axes are usually not allowed at most Monteagle tree farms. You'll want to cut it as close to the ground as possible, in order to have enough trunk to give it a second cut when you get home. The second cut allows the Christmas tree to soak up water, THE key to keeping your tree fresh through the holidays.

Most Christmas tree farms around Tennessee will put mesh around your tree; leave it on until you're ready to set it up at home.

When you get the tree home, tap it on the driveway to shake off the loose needles from the tree, then give it a second cut and set it in a bucket of water. Once its in the house, keep the temperature a little lower, around 65 degrees or so. This will keep your freshly cut Monteagle Tennessee Christmas tree looking and smelling fresh throughout the parties, presents and holiday fun.

Local news video/story about David (January, 2020)

We are a small, family owned and operated nursery specializing in old southern apples. The North Carolina Department of Agriculture has recognized this farm as having remained in my family for over one hundred years, hence the name Century Farm Orchards.

Our goal is for the customer to receive the best quality trees and guidance in maintaining them. Thank you for showing an interest in old southern apples and remember that our standards reflect quality, not quantity.

Blackjack Christmas Tree Farm

We are helping to preserve apples that were once widely grown in the southern United States from the 1600’s to the early 1900’s. Southern farm families grew apples that displayed distinctive qualities. Some were good for eating fresh from the tree, some for cooking, some for drying, some for cider, and others were unique for their ripening period or keeping ability. These apples were important because they were good producers in the warm, humid climate of the South. It is unfortunate that many old southern apples are now extinct, disappearing with family farms that once dotted the landscape. It is the intention of Century Farm Orchards to cultivate old southern apples that are still available today and provide others with the opportunity to grow the apples that older generations grew for necessity.

Old southern apple varieties can produce first quality fruit. However, do not be misled into thinking that these apples are without problems. All apple trees need proper care and attention to produce quality fruit. The older varieties have been time-tested by many generations and offer those in southern climates the possibility of growing excellent fruit for a multitude of purposes.
