  • We will frequently sanitize saws, tree cart handles,  measuring poles and other items handled by customers and helpers
  • Our family and helpers will wear face coverings when they are closer than 6 feet from customers
  • Dogs or other pets are discouraged, but if you do bring a dog it must be leashed at all times

Sales and Payment

  • You will be asked to remain in your vehicle and pay when you exit the property
  • We are working to provide touchless payment with credit cards or will sanitize the credit card device between customers
  • When paying by cash please bring the correct amount $70.00 with you to minimize the need for change

To simplify things we will only be selling Canaan Fir from our farm this year.

We have a good selection of trees from 6 to 10+ feet in height.

Price per tree is $70 for any sized tree

We will offer these options:

   1. You can either choose and cut your own tree (we’ve got the sanitized saws; you bring the muscle)

   2. We will cut the tree of your choice for you

 

Feel free to contact us by email (apsleytrees@roadrunner.com) or phone (740-288-4572) if you have questions.

 

Don’t forget to visit the HOME button to reserve your arrival time.

Please be Patient! We Have Very Limited Parking Space!

If last weekend is any indicator of this coming weekend , we expect to be very busy on Saturday and Sunday (December 5th and 6th).  In order to be safe and to allow things to flow more quickly, we will only allow a limited number of vehicles in at any given time.

If the driveway is blocked with vehicles or Caution Tape,  please drive by and come back when there is an opening.  Please do not stop or park on State Route 93 or along the right of way.  Although the speed limit is only 45 MPH on this stretch of SR 93, many people drive much faster.   We are trying to gain access to some additional parking nearby and will let you know if that works out.

Poplar Row Nursery will be open on Saturday from 1 to 4 PM.  They have wreaths and poinsettias.  They are only about 1.5 miles south of us on State Route 93.  So if we’re busy consider paying them a visit while you wait. 

We appreciate your business, and thank you in advance for your patience! Merry Christmas, and Please be Safe!

The Apsley’s

Please, Be Patient With Us!

We have very  limited parking available at both our roadside lot and at the U-cut farm.  With the saturated soil conditions that we are experiencing this weekend (Dec. 6 &7),  we need to keep all vehicles on the gravel parking areas to avoid  damage to the property and to your vehicles.  Consequently, at times we may need to limit vehicle access.  If you see a sign reading “Parking Lot – Full” at the entrance to the farm, please try again later.

Feel free to call us at 740-395-4472, to see if we have space.

Perhaps you could visit Poplar Row Nursery and load up on honey, wreaths, poinsettias, and amaryllis flowers for the Holidays.  Poplar Row is operated by Buckeye Community Services and  is located just 1.5 miles to our south on SR 93.
Thanks!

IMG_0328We will open on Black Friday, November 28th at Noon!

If you’ve driven by the lot and wondered why we don’t have any trees out yet,  don’t worry!  We are waiting until Friday morning to be sure that they are as freshly cut as possible.

Hope to see you soon!

Canaan Fir Destined for Kuwait

Canaan Fir Destined for Kuwait

Each year the Ohio Christmas Tree  Association (OCTA) organizes Operation Evergreen to send live Christmas Trees to military personnel serving overseas. http://ohiochristmastree.org/octa-giving-back/

This is the second year that students at Sts. Peter and Paul School in Wellston raised funds to ship one of the trees to Kuwait, made homemade ornaments and cards, and selected trees to be sent to the troops.

These three trees were cut this evening and made the first leg of their long journey to Kuwait.  They will be inspected and packaged (along with the decorations) in Reynoldsburg tomorrow.

If your organization is interested in helping to raise funding for shipping ($160 per tree) or would like to supply decorations for a tree next year,  feel free to contact us.
