Living Christmas Trees in Florida

Those of us living in the Sunshine State really appreciate the warm weather, but Douglas Firs, the classic Christmas Tree, doesn't.

If you'd like to have a Christmas Tree growing in your yard here in Florida, the best option is probably the Southern, or Florida, Red Cedar.

They are cold hardy, but do well in Mid Florida as well. They have a conical shape and a deep green color.

They grow to about 40 feet tall.

Southern Red Cedars are salt tolerant as well.

Imagine one of these beauties decked out in Christmas lights bringing joy to your family and your neighbors.

In the off season, they are still beautiful on their own, and can be planted in rows for privacy and wind mitigation.

No matter what kind of tree you have in your yard, when you need tree service in our area, I recommend Mid Florida Tree Service.
