O Christmas Tree! by Linda White

Since opening Elliott Tree Farm as a Christmas tree farm about a decade ago, owner Derek Elliott has discovered that everyone wants the perfect tree. But the definition of perfection varies from one family to another.

“Everyone comes looking for the perfect tree, but that looks different to everyone,” he says. “Some people want a full tree; others want a more tapered tree. It really depends on what your space looks like. If you’ve got 10-foot ceilings, you may want to take the tree right to the top or you may want to allow space for a tree topper.”

The 100-acre family heritage farm, located six kilometres north of Hillsburgh, has planted trees for the past 40 years and offers both cut-your-own and fresh-cut trees. It offers white spruce, blue spruce, Frasier fir and Balsam fir.
