Experience a Real Virginia Christmas Tree!

Executive Mansion Tree, Wreaths and Greenery

 John and Virginia Carroll of Claybrooke Farm in Louisa County presented a 12-foot Canaan fir Christmas tree to Governor Bob McDonnell for the Executive Mansion. In addition to the tree, Jocelyn and Joe Lampert of Crazy Joe’s Tree Farm in Culpeper County presented wreaths and Bill and Mary Apperson of Millfarm Christmas Trees of Williamsburg provided greenery for the Mansion. The presentation took place in front of the Executive Mansion in Capitol Square.    These Christmas tree farmers won the honor of providing the Mansion decorations when the Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association (VCTGA) chose their products as Grand Champions in their respective categories. The centerpiece of the decorations, the large Canaan fir, is in step with today’s emphasis on fresh, local, natural trees. Christmas tree farming is a major agricultural industry in Virginia with more than a million trees harvested and sold annually from hundreds of farms throughout the state. Virginia is ranked in the top ten states in number of trees harvested, total tree acreage and number of operations. For every tree harvested, two to three seedlings are planted in its place, making real Christmas trees a renewable resource.    Click here to see a slideshow from the presentation ceremony.

  Our members will find a forum here to discuss issues about tree farming, equipment, and other items of importance to our industry as well as a complete directory of members including contact information.   There is also a Classified Ads section where members may wish to advertise surplus equipment or supplies they may wish to sell or perhaps shop for something they need.

 Again, welcome to the VCTGA web site.  We hope you enjoy your visit here!
