Here’s where you can still find a live Christmas tree in Centre County, with pricing
Believe it or not, Christmas is here in just under a month. There’s no time like the present to secure your tree from a local retailer in Centre County.
Though some area tree farms have closed in recent years, there are still many locations in State College, Bellefonte and beyond offering spruces and firs this holiday season. But be prepared for a larger fee this year, as experts from the American Christmas Tree Association warn the average price has increased by about 10% since 2022.
