About Hartikka Tree Farms |
Hartikka Tree Farms is a family run business started in 1955
growing Christmas trees as a part-time operation and has grown
into a full-time business on three farms. We are located in
Eastern Connecticut near the Rhode Island State boundary.
At Hartikka Tree Farms, we stand behind our product 100%. We have
50 years experience and are still growing. Hartikka's is a high
volume producer of Fraser Firs and we offer full service on
tree's, wreaths, roping, and brush. Over 90% of our business is
from repeat customers.
Hartikka's reputation has been of excellent service, consistent
quality and satisfaction guaranteed. We are conveniently located
between Boston and New York, and our moderate climate makes it
possible to cut trees near the date of shipment.
Sandy loam soils and ideal growing conditions make it possible to
grow high quality trees and nursery stock. Everything we grow is
started from the best of tree seeds.
Large trees, nine feet and over are also grown on Hartikka Tree
Farms and are very popular because of cathedral ceilings in many
homes, etc. They require very special care to grow because of
their size.
November begins the making of Garlands and Wreaths of all sizes.
Fresh cut greens from our farms are brought in daily to keep this
activity
functioning.
We have always grown our own transplants using the
best seeds available. Recently we have expanded this operation and
we now offer our customers container grown seedlings and
transplants along with bareroot stock.
We hope this bit of knowledge will add support in your thinking
behind the growing of a real Christmas Tree.
