The Best Christmas Tree Farms in Adelaide for a Perfect Pine
The best Christmas tree farms in Adelaide are open for business, so you can source the most lush tree as the ultimate decoration this festive season.
Ah, Christmas. Whether decorating the house with glittery lights and baubles or pouring a Baileys and snuggling down to watch a festive film, early December days are best spent setting the Christmas scene. But one element stands out to set you up for the silly season – a real Christmas tree.
Drive out of the city to hand pick your perfect pine or opt for the easy route and have it delivered straight to your door. Here are the best Christmas tree farms in Adelaide to deck your halls with festive cheer!
Christmas Tree Farm, Chandlers Hill
This Christmas tree farm is proudly sustainable, carbon neutral and one of the oldest in South Australia, providing Christmas cheer since 1955. Take the 30-minute drive from Adelaide and collect your tree from their 40-acre farm, or have your fresh-cut tree delivered and set up for just $50. Don’t forget to pick up some cute decorations from the Tree Shed Gift Shop on-site, and bring the kids for tractor rides and animal fun at the petting zoo!
Sitchu Tip: When arriving home with your new tree, pop it in a bucket, give it a thorough hose down with fresh, cool water and allow it to drip in a cool place to get that bushy shape back.
Open 24th November to 23rd December.
51 Sugarloaf Road, Chandlers Hills
Christmas Tree Plantation
There’s quality to be found at the Christmas Tree Plantation, where they groom and trim their trees for guaranteed greatness with a delicious pine smell that artificial trees could never live up to. Choose from fresh pre-cut trees, or find one in the plantation, the choice is yours!
Sitchu tip: Their amazing post-Christmas pick-up service helps remove your tree sensibly, and avoid being one of those people who throw it out on the street as a sad reminder that Christmas is over.
Pre-season (weekends only) from November 16th
Open 7 days from December 1st - 22nd

The amazing Make-A-Wish team are back this Christmas to spread love and joy throughout Adelaide in the form of real Christmas trees! Pick up your perfect tree from spots across Adelaide including Norwood, Glenelg and Malvern, with all proceeds supporting Make-A-Wish Adelaide branches.
Sitchu Tip: Keep the trunk of your Christmas tree trimmed –particularly when freshly purchased – to keep it healthy and soak up as much water as possible.

Norwood, Glenelg East, Parafield and Malvern
Adelaide Blue Lake Christmas Trees
This family-run business has been dealing with Christmas trees for over 30 years and loves the tradition of picking out a lush, bushy pine to make the festive season extra special.
Convenience is key, and you can order online, pick your tree (starting from $100 for a 5ft - 6ft tree), arrange delivery, and book a collection service post-Christmas. Ordering from Adelaide Blue Lake Christmas Trees is as easy as one, two, tree…
Sitchu Tip: Direct sunlight can be quite damaging to your tree. Try to find a reasonably cool and shady spot to keep your tree happy and brighten it with twinkling fairy lights instead.
Online bookings are now open.
49 Kanmantoo Road, Aldgate
Santa Trees Christmas Tree Farm
Live out your lumberjack dreams and cut down your own Christmas Tree at the Santa Trees Christmas Tree Farm or choose the slightly less laborious option of a door-to-door delivery. When visiting you’re encouraged to bring a picnic basket and enjoy the 50-acre stretch of natural pine, making it a beautiful day out for the family or friends.
Sitchu Tip: Keep an eye out for brown or brittle needles when choosing a tree, as this is a sign of an unhealthy tree that may not last the full festive season.
Open 16th November to 23rd December
