Emerald Christmas Tree specializes in selling Christmas trees to retail chains. The company does not sell its products to individual customers.
Look for the Red Wood Christmas Tree Farm on the lefthand side of the road as you head from Redmond toward Woodinville. The big red barn with the sign reading "Christmas Trees" is a dead giveaway. Driving down the gravel driveway, you'll enter a shopping experience as old fashioned as the red barn that beckons you in.
The original creation of "Grandpa" Larry McMurtrey, the farm is now run by his youngest daughter, Jana, and her husband Pablo. The two continue the tradition of giving people a classic tree-buying experience by offering free hot cocoa, cider and candy canes as they look around. Even the family dog is invited, as long as you keep him on a leash. The farm specializes in four distinct varieties of trees, noble, grand, Douglas and Fraser Fir - each with its own distinct qualities. Mistletoe and wreaths are also available. The farm is open around Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve.
