The farm has a lovely variety of trees - from pines to cypress to firs to cedar- there is going to be a tree for you. Parking is ample and they provide instructions upon arrival along with a map of where the different types of trees are located. This is a great tree farm to bring the family and they even have free hay rides (and hot chocolate and coffee!)! I'm currently enjoying the Frasier fir we got from them, but I am already excited for next year's tree from Hollow Creek! Highly recommend a trip to Gilbert, SC for a high quality tree.

Being new to the area, we were unsure where to go to get a tree that wasn't from a big box store…read more An older gentleman I met at the barbershop said he'd been buying trees from Sugar Mountain for 30 years, so that's where I went. We were going to drive to NC and pick one, but when I learned they were set up 10 minutes from our home, we rushed over. We went on a Saturday the weekend after Thanksgiving, and as we pulled in a truck full of fresh trees pulled in behind us. The operation was efficient; one guy gave them a fresh cut, one guy ran a post through the base, and another set them out. All of the guys working there were in their late teens or early 20's, and were super helpful - they even wrapped the tree and loaded it into my truck. We've had our tree up for almost 4 weeks and it still looks as healthy as the day we picked it out. I can't recommend Sugar Mountain Trees enough!

These trees are often cut the day before they hit the lot - trees that have been nurtured for years…read moreand yeasr at Sugar Mountain Fraser Firs farms. Nothing like Home Depot or any other big box retailer that doesn't care about the quality of the product. The owners and their crew take their time with customers to help them find the perfect tree in their price range. I have been buying trees from them for more than 25 years and wouldn't go any other place!

Open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., these stores also offer an array of premier, robust live Christmas trees during the bustling holiday season.

I highly recommend if you are shopping for a Christmas tree to check out his selection. We are going back next weekend to get ours. Just something so enjoyable about walking through & picking a tree with your family. A tradition we wanted to start this year & pass down.

I really appreciate that while I was leisurely exploring the store nobody followed me around, repeatedly asked me if I needed help, or had their eyes on me as if they were assuming I was going to steal something. The only time I had someone in close proximity to me is when I asked questions about their products; furthermore, they just display excellent customer sercive here. I had found quite a bit of stuff for my mother and niece. The clerk even offered to gift wrap my items into a customized gift baskets tied with a beautiful ribbon free of charge. If you're in town looking for beautiful souviners I highly reccomend Uptown Gifts.
