First to open, and nearest

Kadee Farm at Greenville is both: it opens on Saturday 21 November, six days before Elves and Bois D’Arc, and at about 50 minutes it is the shortest drive on this page. It is also the only one open on weekday evenings, 2 to 8pm — though the cut-your-own field itself shuts at 5pm. Pond Hill opens on Monday 23 November, but for pre-cut firs only; its field opens on Black Friday.

What you will pay

Three of the four publish something. Pond Hill charges a flat $89 for any cut-your-own tree from 4 to 12 ft, which makes it much the cheapest place in Texas to cut a tall tree. Bois D’Arc asks $120 to $400 for a field tree, tax included. Kadee publishes only a $60 minimum. Elves publishes nothing at all.

Kadee Farm

Greenville, TX · 50 min north-east of Dallas

The near one, and the first to open — six days before any other farm on this page, and the only one open into the evening right through the season. A working farm since 1982, with a pumpkin patch in the autumn and the tree field from 21 November. You choose and cut Virginia pine from the field, or take one of six or seven varieties of pre-cut, which run from table-top up to 14–16 ft. The saw is theirs; chainsaws are not allowed.

Worth knowingTwo things about the timing. The cut-your-own field closes at 5pm even though the farm stays open until 8, so a weekday evening visit is for the pre-cut lot, the wreath barn and the lights, not for cutting. And they open on Black Friday at 10am but are closed on Thanksgiving Day itself.

Before you set offTheir own website contradicts itself in two places. The tree sales page still carries the heading “cut your own fields now closed” left over from last season, while the home page announces the 21 November opening — the home page is the current one. And the nightly trail of lights is priced at $8 a head on one page and $10 on another, starting at 5:30pm on one and 5pm on the other, so we have not printed a figure for it. The tree dates and hours above are consistent everywhere on the site.

Pond Hill Farm

Canton, TX · 1 hr east of Dallas

The only farm on this page with a flat price: $89 for any cut-your-own tree, whatever its height, which makes a tall tree here far better value than anywhere else in Texas. Virginia pine in the field, pre-cut North Carolina Fraser fir on the lot, and fresh wreaths and greenery. No entry fee, and the hayride, slides, canoes, fire pits and farm animals are all open once the field is. A mile and a half north of I-20 just outside Canton, so it is an easy run east on the interstate rather than a drive up back roads.

Worth knowingThe flat $89 is the thing to know. Everywhere else in Texas a tall tree costs more per foot than a short one, so if you want a 10 or 12 ft tree this is much the cheapest field in the state to cut it in — at Bois D’Arc, an hour further out, the same tree is somewhere between $120 and $400. Two practical notes from the farm: it provides the hand saws, and it shakes and bales every tree, but you load it yourself. The Huck-Finn raft ride across the pond is closed for the 2026 season after the drought dropped the pond, though the canoes, slides and hayride all run.

Before you set offThe first three days are pre-cut only. The farm opens on Monday 23 November but the field does not: Monday to Wednesday is North Carolina Fraser fir from the lot, and cut-your-own starts on Black Friday. Texas sales tax goes on top of both prices, and all tree sales are final. December is weekends only — Saturdays 10am to 6pm, Sundays noon to 6pm — and the farm runs them “until sold out”, with no fixed last day, so go early in the month if you want a choice.

How we dated thisThe farm dates its own season in two places. Its Christmas Season page notes that the Huck-Finn raft ride is closed for the 2026 season after the drought dropped the pond, and its Facebook page said in late October that there are “some big trees out in the fields this year… Fields open Black Friday!” The weekdays agree: 23 and 25 November fall on a Monday and a Wednesday this year, and 28–29 November on a Saturday and Sunday, none of which worked in 2025.

Elves Christmas Tree Farm

Denison, TX · 1 hr 15 north of Dallas

Up near the Oklahoma line, and the one farm here that keeps weekday afternoon hours right through the season until the field is empty. Choose and cut from the field, or take a pre-cut fir from the lot — Fraser, Noble, Nordmann and Grand, trucked in. The same family runs the pumpkin patch here in October.

Worth knowing“No early sales” is meant literally: they will not sell a tree before 10am on Friday 27 November, so there is nothing to be gained by turning up on the Thursday. The weekday 3–5pm slot is only two hours, which is tight for a drive of an hour and a quarter — the weekend hours are much longer.

Before you set offThe farm publishes no prices at all, and the species in its own cut-your-own field is not named anywhere on the site; the firs listed are the pre-cut ones trucked in. Phone before a long drive.

Bois D’Arc Christmas Tree Farm

Telephone, TX · 1 hr 45 north-east of Dallas

The furthest out by a distance — closer to the Oklahoma line than to Dallas — and the only farm on this page that publishes a full range for its field trees. It has added Fridays this season, so it now runs three days a week rather than two, and it is the one place here selling a living tree you can plant: a 3-gallon potted loblolly at $50.

Worth knowingThe tag price includes the tax, which no other farm on this page says, so the number on the label is what you actually pay. The 10% military and first responder discount comes off before tax and needs ID.

Before you set offTheir hours table also carries the words “by appointment” alongside the published Friday to Sunday hours, which we cannot reconcile from the page. For a drive of an hour and three-quarters, phone first.

Dallas Christmas tree farm questions

When do Christmas tree farms open near Dallas in 2026?

Kadee Farm at Greenville opens first, on Saturday 21 November, and runs to Saturday 19 December. Pond Hill Farm at Canton opens on Monday 23 November, but the first three days are pre-cut Fraser fir only and the cut-your-own field opens on Black Friday, 27 November. Elves at Denison and Bois D’Arc at Telephone both open on Friday 27 November at 10am. All four are closed on Thanksgiving Day itself, Thursday 26 November.

How much is a Christmas tree near Dallas?

Pond Hill Farm charges a flat $89 for any cut-your-own tree between 4 and 12 ft, and $109 and up for a pre-cut North Carolina Fraser fir. Bois D’Arc prices its field trees from $120 to $400, with the tax already in the figure on the tag, and sells a 3-gallon potted loblolly at $50. Kadee Farm publishes only a $60 minimum for the cut-your-own field, and Elves publishes no prices at all. For a tall tree, Pond Hill's flat rate is the one to beat: a 12 ft tree there costs the same $89 as a 4 ft one.

Which is the closest Christmas tree farm to Dallas?

Kadee Farm at Greenville, about 50 minutes north-east on US-69. Pond Hill at Canton is about an hour east, a mile and a half off I-20. After that it is a long way: Elves at Denison is an hour and a quarter north and Bois D’Arc at Telephone an hour and three-quarters north-east, closer to the Oklahoma line than to Dallas. There is no Christmas tree farm in Dallas itself, which is normal — tree fields need land.

What kind of Christmas tree can you cut near Dallas?

Virginia pine at Kadee and Pond Hill, which is what most of Texas grows, because fir will not take the heat. Elves and Bois D’Arc do not name the species in their own fields. The Fraser firs sold at Pond Hill and the Fraser, Noble, Nordmann and Grand firs at Elves are all pre-cut, trucked down from North Carolina and the north-west, which is why they cost more. The southern trees compared goes through what each is like in a room.

Which farm is open on weekday evenings?

Kadee Farm is the only one open into the evening all season, 2 to 8pm Monday to Friday. The catch is that the cut-your-own field closes at 5pm, so an evening visit there is for the pre-cut lot, the wreath barn and the trail of lights rather than for cutting your own. Pond Hill is open 2 to 8pm on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, but those three evenings are pre-cut Fraser fir only, and from December it is weekends. Elves opens weekdays from 3 to 5pm, a tight two hours for a drive of an hour and a quarter, and Bois D’Arc is Friday to Sunday only.

Do they provide a saw?

Kadee does, and says plainly that chainsaws are not allowed. The other three do not say on their own websites, so phone ahead if you would rather not carry one. Kadee also sets a $60 minimum in the cut-your-own field, which is worth knowing before you pick a small tree.

Be honest about the drive

There is no Christmas tree farm in Dallas, and only one within an hour. Kadee at Greenville is about 50 minutes out and Pond Hill at Canton about an hour; after that you are looking at an hour and a quarter to Elves and an hour and three-quarters to Bois D’Arc. That is the shape of it in north Texas, where tree farms sit well outside the metro, and it is worth planning the day around rather than discovering at the far end of it.

Two of the four stop when the field is empty rather than on a fixed date, and Texas farms are small — a few thousand trees, four or five weekends, then done. If you want a tall tree, the opening weekend is not an optional nicety.

How these were checked

Each listing comes from the farm’s own website, read on 22 Oct 2026, and is re-read when a farm posts something new — each card carries the date it was last read. We do not use the growers’ association directory for dates, prices or whether a farm is open: it was wrong twice this season about farms that were trading normally.

Two of these four were only confirmed this week. Kadee Farm sets its opening announcement in pictures rather than text, so it read to us as a farm that had posted nothing while its home page was announcing the season in large type; its tree sales page still carries last season’s “now closed” heading, which did not help. Pond Hill prints no year against its tree season, and is listed here because the dates it does print fall on the right days of the week for 2026 and on the wrong ones for 2025. Both cards say so.

Prices are the gap. Only Pond Hill and Bois D’Arc publish real figures; Kadee publishes a minimum and Elves nothing. We have asked, and the figures go up here as they come in.

Spot something that has gone stale? Say so and it gets fixed.
