With five locations in the Kansas City area, it's easy to find a Grass Pad near you with a great selection of pre-cut real trees. Plus, when you buy a Grass Pad Christmas tree, you support local small businesses and independent American farmers.
This year Grass Pad has two varieties of pre-cut, real trees to choose from — Oregon Noble Firs and Northern Fraser Firs. Oregon Noble Firs are the most desired of all the real tree varieties, are a rich blue-green color with a hint of silver and are known for their needle retention. For more information, visit Grass Pad's website here.
Nothing beats the look and smell of a fresh-cut Christmas tree. One of the keys to tree safety is placement. Remember to never place your tree within three feet of a heat source including fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. Also, be sure to check its water level daily, never allowing it to go dry. Happy tree hunting, and most importantly, have a safe and happy holiday.
