NJ's Best Pick-Your-Own Christmas Tree Farms

The turkey is digested, the cornucopia has been put away and now as visions of sugar plums begin their annual dance, it is time to deck the halls. First, you need to pick out the perfect Christmas tree.

While you could head to a box store or the attic and settle for an artificial one, Patch can help you pick out other alternatives.

So whether it is a pre-cut one or cut-your-own, check out our compilation of the best place to secure that yuletide symbol in New Jersey.
