    Erynn:  At Wickerd Farm, choosing and cutting your Monterey Pine tree is just the beginning! Come early and pre-tag your tree, or select it the day of. They'll clean your chosen tree once it's cut and drill holes for your tree stand if needed (for free). You can even go on a self-guided nature hike and make a day of it. Additional charges apply but they do offer flocking (looks like snow!), flame retardant application, baling, and local delivery. Also, pre-cut fir trees, tree stands, and other accessories are available for purchase.
