1. Visit the nursery and cut your own

Make it a magical family experience by visiting the nursery, browsing the rows of live Christmas trees for sale to find your favourite and then work on cutting down your own tree and towing it back to your vehicle.

Choose from Traditional Christmas Trees (from $115 for 5ft / 1.5m tree) or Premium Christmas Trees (from $80 for 3ft / 0.9m tree) for a fuller, greener and more symmetrical tree. Trees range in height up to 9ft / 2.7m if you have lots of space available!

2. Click and Collect a Christmas Tree

If being a lumberjack is not part of your skillset then you can opt for click and collect and have a real Christmas tree ready to go.

Purchase real Christmas trees for sale from Melbourne Christmas Tree Farm‘s website and after 24 hours you’ll receive notification that your tree is ready for pick up. Pickups occur after 11am.

You’ll still be able to stop for a happy snap inside the nursery, but this option saves you the trouble of having to (amateurishly) saw down your tree.

3. Fresh Christmas Tree Delivery Melbourne

The Melbourne Christmas Trees Farm delivery service runs 7 days a week, with a tree chosen, cut on the day of delivery, netted (to keep it safe during transport), and delivered to your home.

Delivering real Christmas Trees Melbourne Metro-wide is generally inside the standard delivery area, but some locations incur an additional charge for the distance.

Christmas Tree Stands

Regardless of the size of the tree you choose, or how you get it, you’ll need a Christmas Tree base that’s appropriate for your tree.

If you’ve got a suitable one already – you can definitely reuse it many times. Just make sure you are sure about what size tree trunk you can fit into your stand – you don’t want to get your tree home only to find that your stand is too small!

You can add a stand to your order from $55 (for up to a 6ft tree) to keep the tree secure and well-watered.

tips for Setting up your christmas tree

Here are some tips from the experts on Melbourne Christmas Tree Farm on how to set up your Christmas tree:

  • Ideally, setting up the Christmas tree naturally is a two person job;
  • Shave a small section of the trunk to remove any sap and maximise water absorption;
  • Position the tree in the stand until the tip is straight;
  • Tighten the bolts firmly and evenly;
  • Test the tree to make sure the weight is distributed evenly and it’s unlikely to tip; and
  • Add water to the stand. You’ll need to keep topping up the water to keep your Christmas tree really fresh – it’s like a vase of flowers.

This service costs $25, or $50 for a 2.4m tree.
