Christmas tree farms in California, 2026

5 of the 8 California Christmas tree farms we list have posted 2026 season dates; the first open Nov 21 (Crest Ranch Tree Farm, Santa Cruz; Sand Haven Pines, Perris; Summit Tree Farm, Los Gatos). All 8 are choose and cut.

Each farm shows the date we last checked its source (between October 2, 2026 and October 23, 2026). Farms are listed by opening date, then by name. We do not rank farms, and no farm pays to be listed or placed.

Dates, hours and prices come from each farm's own website or the official listing named with it and can change, and some sites still show last season's details. Check with the farm before you go. How we check

What does a Christmas tree cost at California farms?

6 of the 8 farms post a price. Each is shown in the farm's own terms. Only a price the farm marks for 2026 counts as this year's; older prices say so, and some pages give no year at all. We do not average them, because farms price by the foot, by the tree or by type.

• Crest Ranch Tree Farm (Santa Cruz): Monterey pine $75 any size; Douglas fir, Sequoia, pines, cedar, cypress $75 to 5 ft plus $5 per extra half foot; White and Greek fir $85 to 5 ft plus $7 per half foot; tax included; cash or check only (the farm's page does not say which year)
• Sand Haven Pines (Perris): Individually priced; shaking $7, netting $7, drilling for stand free, flocking custom priced (the farm's page does not say which year)

We list a farm only when its own site (or, labeled, a state association, agriculture-department or tourism listing) confirms it; a farm gets a page of its own once it has posted 2026 dates, and a farm still waiting on dates gets one only in a state with at least 3 dated farms; until then its full details sit on this page.
