What is the best type of tree to haul?

When picking out the perfect Christmas tree, make sure to select a tree that will be easy to haul! You want to avoid trees that are too tall, heavy or a large trunk. The best types of trees to haul are smaller trees with narrow trunks. Trees with wide trunks are harder to get in and out of the vehicle, making them harder to haul. Trees with a wide base are also harder to haul. The base should be no more than four times as wide as the trunk. A narrow trunk and a wide base make a tree easier to haul.

When to haul your Christmas Tree

Before you haul your Christmas tree, make sure to cut off any branches that are broken or have spines. You can also remove any leaves that fall off easily. If you notice any bugs or eggs on the tree, skip the haul. You don’t want to move the eggs, potentially spreading an invasive species. Christmas trees are at their freshest around December. After that, the needles will dry out and fall off, making them less fragrant and less valuable. Christmas tree sales usually run from November through December, but you can start looking at the end of October.
