Which Christmas tree farm is closest to San Antonio?
Three are about 45 minutes out, in three different directions: Pipe Creek to the north-west on Highway 16, Devine Acres to the south-west and The Farm at Alum Creek at Stockdale to the south-east. Jenschke Orchards at Fredericksburg is about an hour and a quarter.
How much is a Christmas tree near San Antonio?
Pipe Creek charges about $15 a foot to cut your own, with pre-cut Fraser fir from $95; the farm confirmed both for 2026 by email. Devine Acres charges $20 a foot plus tax, and admission on top: $18.95 online or $24.95 full price, with up to $50 of it coming back off the tree. Alum Creek charges $15 to $22 a foot, by the farm’s own email, and Jenschke publishes no tree prices.
Which farms are open on weekdays?
Pipe Creek is open every day, 11am to 5:45pm, from 23 November until the trees run out, except Thanksgiving Day. Devine Acres opens Saturdays, Sundays and Black Friday, and Alum Creek Fridays to Sundays.
What kind of tree can you cut near San Antonio?
Pine and cypress, because fir will not take the heat: Afghan pine and Leyland and Arizona cypress at Pipe Creek, Leyland and Arizona cypress at Devine Acres, Virginia pine and Arizona cypress at Alum Creek, and Murray and Arizona cypress at Jenschke. For a fir, Pipe Creek and Devine Acres sell pre-cut Fraser fir and Jenschke pre-cut Noble and Nordmann.
Four directions out of the city
There is no Christmas tree farm inside San Antonio, and there is no single direction to head
for one: the four on this page are spread around the city, three of them about 45 minutes out.
That makes the choice less about distance than about the kind of day you want.
Devine Acres is a ticketed festival with Santa and snow;
Pipe Creek is a working tree farm open every day;
Alum Creek is small and quiet; and
Jenschke pairs a tree with a trip to Fredericksburg.
All four are farms for more than one season. Pipe Creek and Alum Creek are pumpkin patches in
October, Devine Acres runs a fall festival, and Jenschke is a peach orchard first.
How these were checked
Each listing comes from the farm itself — its own website, or, for The Farm at Alum
Creek, which keeps only a Facebook page, the farm’s own posts — read on 12 November
2026, and every card carries the date it was last read. We do not take dates or open-or-closed
status from the growers’ association directory. Where a farm states its season as a rule
rather than a date, as Jenschke does with “the day after Thanksgiving”, the card says
so and gives the 2026 date the rule falls on. Alum Creek’s prices and payment came from the
farm by email on 12 November, and its card says so. Pipe Creek confirmed by email on 13 November that the prices on its site are this year’s.
