I had a completely different experience at Dave's than Brian. Overall there was an awesome selection of trees, poinsettias, wreaths and other Christmas flowers. I bought a 9' tree the weekend following thanksgiving for $130. The first trees I saw when entering the lot were the biggest and nicest trees Dave had available on the lot (most in the 12-15 foot range) while the 9' tree I was looking for was 2 rows to the left which Dave personally directed me to and helped me select. We got to talking during the sale about pricing in general and we decided on a 9' Frasier fir that both looked great and was in my price range. He explained the price difference between a Noble fir (which are absolutely gorgeous by the way) and a Frasier is because Noble firs are the Maseratis and Fraziers are the Mercedes-Benzs' of Christmas trees in addition to the fact that the trunk size of the nobles are almost 2x as large as the Frasiers. I also asked Dave about the gigantic trees, curious about how much they weighed, and he said around 400-450 lbs and that it took 4 men to move them off the truck into position. They are probably kept bound up until absolutely necessary so they don't block the entire row of trees once opened. After "the boss" told you the price of a tree you clearly weren't interested in purchasing (you said "wow" after hearing the price and were looking for a much smaller tree anyway) why would you expect a business to open the tree up so you could see it and then inconvenience other customers because of the pure man-power required to maneuver a tree of such a size Brian? You expect him to shut down his entire operation (to assemble the manpower) to open a tree that is much larger than what you were looking for? I wouldn't ask that of a local business unless I was actually interested in a that tree, remember this isn't a big box store with forklifts and mechanical wrapping machines that could have done the job once you saw the tree and decided not to buy it. Also Brian, I used to live up north where flocking is much more commonly done on trees than down here and sorry to tell you but flocking power is just harmless chalk thrown on a wet tree and allowed to dry so it sticks to the needles to create the snow-like impression. Also why would you ask him to potentially damage a tree that has already been sold to another customer just so YOU could see how it looked? I was there the same weekend and there had to be at least 150+ trees already standing up for you to look at I found the customer service at Dave's to be excellent. It was black Friday weekend so the place was jammed with customers as expected, yet I was still treated with respect and quickly found my perfect tree. I definitely plan on buying my tree from his lot again next year. In my experience, the trees at Dave's are of much higher quality than other tree lots in the area and hands down better than trees from the big box stores; not to mention the fact the vast selection of holiday flowers available. read more

We have known about Dave's Christmas tree lot from some friends for a while, but it was a bit to far of a drive from Tampa. After a few years of having trees that do not smell like Christmas or die after 3 weeks, we decided to take the drive... My husband is very picky about trees since he lived up north and his family actually went out and cut their own trees! We not only were impressed with the fresh cut Christmas trees and floral grade poinsettias, but the guys working there were awesome. They greeted us with smiles and gave us an education of all their trees; the owner Dave is a super nice guy, he explained that they carry Fraser Firs, Douglas Fir, Grand Fir, Noble Fir & White Pine. Since I like the look of the fraiser, we went with a beautiful 8 footer that lasted over 5 weeks! (we celebrate 3 kings day so we have to have the three up until January 6th) I definitely recommend Dave's Christmas tree lot for high quality trees and flowers, with a nice atmosphere. Happy New Year! The Barker family, Tampa Florida read more

In the past my family would go to whichever tree lot was most convenient but for the last 2 or 3 years we've made a point to go to Dave's. They seem to have the same people working the lot each year and that's part of the reason why we keep coming back. The people working are always welcoming and even remembered us from the previous year. Most importantly, they are willing to work with you on price. To be honest, these are moderately priced trees and you can get a cheaper tree at Lowe's but you'd sacrifice quality and customer service. The several trees we have bought from Daves have been in excellent health and condition as promised and therefore are actually a bargain price wise. We also bought some good firewood this year. Highly recommend this lot read more

My girlfriend and I wanted to carve pumpkins this year for Halloween so I went about trying to find a pumpkin patch. There aren't any actual pumpkin fields anywhere nearby and I didn't want to buy them from any old retail store. We were referred to Daves Pumpkin patch by a friend who had a pleasant experience. The staff was nice and there was a good selection of pumpkins. Along with that there was an area where you could take pictures that was set up. Overall it was a very good experience. Also, Daves lot will be selling Christmas trees starting November 27 which we will also check out. read more

This is the second year that we have purchased from Dave..Not only is he the nicest guy you will ever meet, but he has beautiful trees and poinsettias. His fire wood has the best burning smell ever. Our tree last year looked and smelled fresh cut all the way til the second week of January (three kings). We love that he supports local schools also. Giving back during the Christmas season is what it's all about, right? We will never buy from anyone else. Thanks again Dave for our 2nd beautiful tree! See ya next year at Holloween!! read more

On the recommendation of the salesperson I purchased a top of the line Noble Fir which I am SO SO GLAD I did. The Noble Fir has kept its beautiful shape, has lost very few needles and still has a great aroma. I purchased the tree the day before Thanksgiving and just took the tree down yesterday. The tree was still drinking water and looked great, I defiantly got my moneys worth out of this tree. This was the first year I experimented with the Noble Fir, I usually get a Fraser Fir which usually always hold up well. read more

Best selection and quality of Christmas trees anywhere in the Brandon area. We visited 3 other Christmas tree lots including Mikes and Winter Wonderland, Dave's wins hands down. Wonderland carries a much lower grade tree , Mikes has good quality but high prices, Dave's has top quality with moderate pricing. From what they told us Dave goes up to NC each summer and actually hand picks all of the trees they sell at his location. I believe them based on how fresh and full his trees look. Defiantly worth a look! read more

This place is absolutely wonderful! It's a Christmas tree enthusiasts dream location. Every year we have been able to find a beautiful Christmas tree and fresh hand made wreath here. They offer many varieties of trees and take the extra time to explain the care and differences in each tree. These trees are very healthy and bug/pest free. The lot is well lit and reminds me of the Christmas tree lots you see on the Hallmark Channel. Awesome tree lot! read more

Bravo! Thanks for being one of the very few Christmas tree lots that were actually open on Christmas Eve. I normally buy my tree way closer to Thanksgiving however this year I was deployed out of country & just got back yesterday. My hope was getting down after the 7th call in a row to lots & getting the same response "sorry we are sold out". Fortunately I made the 8th call to you & you guys made my day. Merry Christmas. read more

I just took my Christmas tree down last Sat 1-10-15 and believe it or not I only lost a handful of needles. I must say I got the most pretty and healthy tree ever. The reason I visited Daves Christmas tree lot was on the recommendation of a friend, that was a great call. The whole set up of the location reminds me of the quirky Christmas tree lots you see on the Hallmark movie channel. I give Dave a big time thumbs up. read more

Absolutely fantastic!! Amazing service and product! We decided to add a live tree to the set up for one our large commercial clients and Dave found us an absolutely gorgeous 14' tree. He delivered it based on our schedule and timeline so our "elves" could get it decorated while most of the world was still sleeping We are already looking forward to next year's tree! Thank you!! read more

This is the fourth straight year I have gone to Dave's Christmas tree lot and the experience is the same each year, great. Pat one of the sales people must have spent 20 mins helping me pick out the perfect tree for the space I have to work with. There were so many good choices which made my decission hard. Dave has some of the nicest Christmas trees in Brandon. read more

Dave's Tree Lot gives a % back each year from their pumpkin & Christmas tree sales to our PTSA at Barrington Middle School. Not only our school, but they support many other schools too in the area with their generosity! Let's support this local business as that gives back directly to our local schools. #supportlocal read more

Just got a wheel barrow of firewood from Daves Christmas tree lot, what a nice guy. Since they are not open every day at this time of year Dave was kind enough to meet me after work to load me up with firewood. He gave me a very full wheel barrow load of excellent split oak for only $20. This was a great find. read more

Great customer service very easy to communicate this is my fourth year in a row getting a tree from Dave's Christmas tree lot and it's been perfect every single time I recommend getting the flocking is beautiful and only an additional $59 bucks for full tree!! read more
