Pittsburgh Christmas tree questions

Where can you cut your own Christmas tree near Pittsburgh?

North of the city, Grupp’s in Harmony, Lake Forest Gardens in Fombell and Cypher’s in Butler. West, Allison’s in Aliquippa, Buchanan in Hookstown and Hozak in Clinton. South, Candle Tree in Washington, Lone Oak in Monongahela, Nutbrown’s in Carnegie and Quarter Pine in Smithfield. An hour east, Mytrysak in Indiana, the county that calls itself the Christmas Tree Capital of the World, along with Ruffing’s there and Baldauf in Blairsville. North-west, McConnell’s and Rodgers’ Pine Hill in New Castle.

When do Pittsburgh Christmas tree farms open in 2026?

Four open on Saturday 21 November: Grupp’s, Buchanan, Lake Forest Gardens and Lone Oak. Candle Tree opens on Wednesday 25 November at 3pm. Mytrysak, Allison’s, Cypher’s, Quarter Pine and Ruffing’s open on Black Friday, 27 November; Ruffing’s then opens on weekends only, by its own rule. Hozak, Nutbrown’s, Pine Hill, McConnell’s, Baldauf and Rodgers’ Pine Hill have not posted 2026 dates.

How much is a Christmas tree near Pittsburgh?

Grupp’s charges $80 for a Canaan or concolor fir up to 7 ft, $5 less than last year. Lake Forest Gardens charges $95 for any choose-and-cut tree, tax and hayride included. Allison’s charges $75 for a 6–7 ft Fraser, concolor or blue spruce and $85 at 7–8 ft, and Mytrysak $75 at 6 ft and $95 at 8 ft, plus $3 for a tree cut in the field. The cheapest is Ruffing’s in Indiana: $34 for any tree, no year given. Baldauf charged $50 for any tree in 2025.

Can I bring my dog?

At Lake Forest Gardens and Mytrysak, yes, on a lead. Grupp’s says no pets and Buchanan asks for pets to stay home. The others don’t say, so ring first.

Which Pittsburgh farms take cash only?

Grupp’s and Buchanan take cash or cheque only, Baldauf took cash only last season, and Lake Forest Gardens takes no credit cards but has ATMs on site. Candle Tree takes cards.

How these were checked

Every listing above was read on the farm’s own website or Facebook page, by us or from screenshots, and each card carries the date it was last read. Ten of the sixteen have a 2026 opening date. Hozak, Nutbrown’s, Pine Hill, McConnell’s, Baldauf and Rodgers’ Pine Hill have not posted one, so they are listed with what is missing rather than with last season’s dates.

Dates and prices change: ring the farm before you set off, and if something here has gone stale, say so and it gets fixed.
