CRANE HILL TREE FARM

Crane Hill Tree Farm is a "Choose and Cut" (or we will cut for you) Christmas Tree Farm on Johnson Hill Road in Washington, Massachusetts in the beautiful Berkshires. It is owned and operated by the Spencer family.

We planted our first trees in 1989, opened for business in 1997, and now have approximately 3500 trees from first year transplants up through 10 feet or more. The primary species is the traditional New England Christmas tree, the Balsam fir; but we also have Fraser firs; and we recently did an experimental planting of 250 “Fralsam” seedlings, which are a cross between Fraser and Balsam. .

Supply for the 2011 Christmas season:

Crane Hill Tree Farm has enjoyed considerable success in its mission to add the joy of a real tree to the Christmas experience of as many families as possible. After a few years in which sales outpaced the ability of the trees to keep up, we have now fully recovered. We have an ample supply of Balsams in the 5 to 8 foot size range. There is also be a limited supply of taller balsams and a few leftover very large Douglas Firs.

Take Rte. 8 South through Hinsdale and into Washington. Just past the Washington Town Park take a left onto Lower Valley Road. Lower Valley Rd. will pass under the railroad tracks, then will turn hard to the right, and after a little more than 1 mile will lead to a fork in the road. At that point bear left onto Johnson Hill Rd. Crane Hill Tree Farm is on the left at the crest of the hill (approximately 1/3 mi.). If you find yourself on a dirt road, you have taken a wrong turn.
