Great Lakes Christmas Tree Farms - Tampa, Florida

We purchased a beautiful tree there a week ago. It was reasonably priced and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Because of that I am giving the 3 stars. However, keep reading. When we got home we cut the trunk so it was fresh and followed the same instructions I follow every year with the stand and watering it. Over the past week I had noticed that it was losing more needles than any other tree I have had. But, I thought it's a different kind than I have ever had and maybe they shed more. Well, this morning I woke up and the bottom third of the tree was see through and there were so many needles on the ground that it filled up 2 dustpans and then some. I wish I could post pictures! So, I am not sure if I got a bad tree or if they don't have fresh trees. All I know is it won't last another 2 weeks so we had to go buy another. Good customer service or not I can't give 5 stars. $60 isn't a ton of money but it's more than I want to spend on a dried up tree.

We went there today and there was still a nice selection of trees, although it's a little late in the tree buying season. We bought a tree and it's very fresh, no needles on the floor after hauling it in and setting it up. They have beautiful poinsettias and they sell them by the case. They are a great price and floral quality. The staff was super helpful and friendly. In no time they had to our tree trimmed and tied to the car. We always get a few things from here every year and have never been disappointed.

Yesterday we bought what we thought was a beautiful 7.5 ft tree, Blue Spruce, and paid $90. They cut an inch off the bottom prior to tying it on the car. We got it in the tree stand with water within an hour of buying. Today, it has lost a full dust pan full of needles and although it drank a little bit overnight, it essentially drank nothing from this morning to tonight. The lower 1/3rd now looks almost bare. Not sure if this is a problem with trying to buy live trees in Florida that are all shipped, or if this place is just bad. I love real trees, but I'd have rather bought a fake than have a dead tree a day after we bought it.

Beautiful trees for the best price in town! I come here every year and have always had a great experience. This year I got a gorgeous 9’ blue spruce, and they were even able to arrange to have it delivered to my house and set up in the stand for a small fee. Will be back!

There are so many different trees to choose from! Also, they were much more affordable compared to other Christmas tree vendors. We paid $45 for a 7 FT Fur from Michigan; cash only! They quickly cut a half inch off of our tree, and tied it on top of our car and we were out of there in no time.

Great experience with my first real tree! I wasn't sure how I was going to get a big tree home on my own but I googled and got them. I was able to order and pay with a simple call. Johnnie explained everything to me, sent me a picture of my tree to confirm and delivered it on time! Great, simple service. One less thing to stress about this holiday season.

I was in a dilemma. 1 week until Christmas and nobody had any trees! Except Great Lakes Christmas Tree Farms in Tampa. These guys were great - courteous, helpful and cheerful. I got a perfect tree for my platform and couldn’t be happier. This was an hour from my house in Pinellas County, but the ride was well worth it!

Thanks, Great Lakes!

Great option for trees. Went early on a Sunday morning and was only customer so had five different people helping me. They were courteous and patient while I strolled around looking at the beautiful trees. Prices really aren't much different than the big box stores and trees look much better. Bring cash!
