Tips:
- If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website or Facebook page. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
- ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO
- many farms have closed in the past year, and of course, we won't know until the season starts and we find they aren't open! Call to confirm their supply, their hours
and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available.
All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For
more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here

DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!
- And please tell the farmer you visit in Hawaii that you found their farm
here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!
And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the
information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy

Now there IS a cut-your-own tree farm in Hawaii. AND, there is a Christmas tree ship.
Yep, a Ship. Refrigerated container ships started crossing the Pacific in the
1960's. Now, usually on Thanksgiving day, a ship arrives with trees.
Still, many Hawaiians use Norfolk Island pines, which are common there (although
they were not native - they came from another South Pacific island).
Many visit local nurseries and pick their choice of Norfolk
Island Pines from the native crops. Others buy potted specimens to decorate and
illuminate. A few even poach them from local forest reserves.
NOTES: Retail stores such as Kmart, Daiei, Home Depot and
City Mill are usually sold out of trees by mid December. Most retail
stores started selling Christmas trees the day after Thanksgiving.

Leyland Cypress
trees start at (Prices may have changed!) $60, plus taxes. Our locally made
Christmas wreaths start at (Prices may have changed!) $25. . Notes: although the branches of the
Norfolk Pine are spaced farther apart than other species, the trees are
hypoallergenic and the needles don't shed; lasting a much longer time
than other trees.
A visitor writes: "We are a military family stationed
in Hawaii. Originally from Washington State we are accustomed to cutting
down our own FRESH Christmas tree every year, so when we moved to Hawaii
we thought we were going to be stuck with getting a fake tree like
everyone else here. We were so happy to find Helemano Farms last year
after searching the internet. The farm is near the Dole Pineapple
Plantation and the family is very helpful in assisting with cutting down
the tree and loading them in the car. We highly recommend this farm. The
trees are beautiful and last for a very long time.
Here is a link to a newspaper article from last year.
Very happy to
find your website. We were looking for a pumpkin patch and you showed us
that there are 3. Thank you so much. "
