First to open

Ergle Christmas Tree Farm near Tampa opens on Saturday 14 November, Santa’s Farm & Christmas Tree Forest near Orlando on the 20th and Misty Mountain Christmas Tree Farm on the 22nd. Christmas at Stanley Park, Hidden Cypress Farm and Powell Tree Farm open on the 21st, and most of the rest on Black Friday. At Maphis Nursery & Tree Farm you can tag a tree from 7 November.

Pine and cedar, not fir

Fir won’t grow in Florida, so the trees you cut are sand pine, red cedar and cypress. Ergle Christmas Tree Farm, Blue Acres Christmas Tree Farm and A Southern CHRISTmas Tree Farm also sell Fraser fir from North Carolina, and Holly Jolly Meadows Christmas Tree Farm sells pre-cut trees only.

One price, or by the foot

Santa’s Farm & Christmas Tree Forest charges $45 for any tree, plus entry; Blue Acres Christmas Tree Farm starts at $42 and Ergle Christmas Tree Farm at $48. By the foot, Merry Little Christmas Tree Farm is $8, Maphis Nursery & Tree Farm $12 and Hidden Cypress Farm $18.

Dogs: 1 farm on this page welcomes them. Every dog-friendly farm in Florida, with each farm’s rule.

Florida Christmas tree farm questions

When do Christmas tree farms open in Florida?

Ergle in Dade City opens first, on Saturday 14 November 2026, and Santa's Farm in Eustis on Friday 20 November. Christmas at Stanley Park, Hidden Cypress and Powell open on Saturday 21 November, and Misty Mountain in Howey-in-the-Hills on Sunday 22 November. Blue Acres, Kandy Kane, Gibbs, Bledsoe, A Southern CHRISTmas, Beulah in Pensacola and Holly Jolly Meadows open on Black Friday, 27 November, and Merry Little on Saturday 28 November. Maphis in Chipley opened its fields for tagging on 7 November.

Can you cut your own Christmas tree in Florida?

Yes. Florida farms grow sand pine, red cedar and cypress for cutting, because fir needs a colder climate. Several also sell Fraser fir pre-cut from North Carolina.

Where can I cut my own Christmas tree near Tampa?

Ergle in Dade City and Blue Acres in Spring Hill are both in Pasco County, 40 to 50 minutes north of Tampa, and Christmas at Stanley Park is in Winter Haven, east of Lakeland.

Where can I cut my own Christmas tree near Orlando?

Santa's Farm & Christmas Tree Forest in Eustis, about 45 minutes north-west of Orlando, opens on 20 November. It charges $45 for any tree you cut, plus an entry fee. Misty Mountain in Howey-in-the-Hills opens on 22 November with mostly Fraser fir and a few Florida trees to cut. Holly Jolly Meadows in Mims, near Titusville, sells pre-cut trees only.

Where can I cut my own Christmas tree near Jacksonville?

A Southern CHRISTmas Tree Farm in Hilliard is 30 minutes north of Jacksonville and opens on 27 November. Bledsoe Family Farms in Live Oak, west along I-10, opens the same day. Songer's in Middleburg hasn't posted its 2026 dates yet.

Where can I cut my own Christmas tree near Tallahassee?

Merry Little in Crawfordville is just south of the city and opens on 28 November. Powell in Sneads and Hidden Cypress in Cottondale are west along I-10 and open on 21 November, and Maphis in Chipley is tagging trees now. Turner's in Havana and Bavarian in Tallahassee haven't posted 2026 dates yet.

Is there a Christmas tree farm near Pensacola or Panama City?

Beulah Christmas Tree Farm on the west side of Pensacola opens on Friday 27 November at 10am. Yates Farms in Fountain, north of Panama City, has choose-and-cut trees but hasn't posted a 2026 date; call or message the farm.

How much does a Christmas tree cost at a Florida farm?

Santa's Farm charges $45 for any tree you cut, plus entry; Blue Acres starts at $42 and Ergle at $48 for a tree up to 6 ft. Merry Little charges $8 a foot, Maphis $12 and Hidden Cypress $18. Christmas at Stanley Park charges $80 for a tree up to 8 ft, and Gibbs in Citra $50 to $350.

Is Unicorn Hill Farm in Gainesville still open?

We could find no sign of it. Its website no longer exists, and local news reported in 2023 that the farm had closed. The nearest farm listed here is Kandy Kane in Anthony, north of Ocala.

Can I bring my dog to a Florida Christmas tree farm?

Ergle and Santa's Farm both say they are dog friendly. Blue Acres asks you not to bring pets, and Yates allows no pets in the field. The other farms don't say, so ring before you bring one.

How these were checked

Every Florida farm here was checked on 7 or 8 November 2026 on its own website or Facebook page. A 2026 date appears only where the farm has posted it, and each card quotes the farm’s words. Where a farm printed a date with no year, it was checked against the 2026 calendar — Thanksgiving is Thursday 26 November this year — and used only when it could not be last season’s.

Tourism listings and news roundups were used only to find farms, never for a date or a price. Farms that haven’t posted 2026 dates are at the end of their region or listed below, and several have been asked directly; their answers will be added as they come in. A farm that sells only pre-cut trees says so on its card.
