Our custom grafting process is what makes the difference. 

The combination of long-tended old-growth donor trees and specialty selected seedlings creates a Noble Fir that grows stronger and more disease resistant than any other tree.

This means we can bring you trees that keep their needles throughout the whole season, and maintain that fresh scent.

The Burton family growers are pioneers of the Noble Fir industry in the Pacific Northwest. 

We start with material from our own seed orchard

Through our special methods of pruning we are able to bring you a tree that is stronger, happier, and more naturally shaped than any competitor.

The Burton family tradition of growing quality Noble Fir Christmas trees began in 1949 when Howard’s father Charley planted his first fields.

Charley was a pioneer in the Christmas tree farming industry, planting the Northwest’s first Noble Fir tree seedlings at what remains the Burton’s home farm. 

Howard and Kay Burton took over the farm from their parents Charley and Dorothy in 1999.

Including the family's original 80 acres, the Burton Christmas Tree farm is located 12 miles west of Morton, Washington, about half way between Seattle and Portland.

The high altitude and humidity lead to a heartier happier tree that can keep its needles long after being harvested.

We grow nursery-quality Noble Firs, Blue Nobles and blue nobles. 

The trees are hand cultured by picking the ends off in the spring for shaping. This gives the trees character and makes them a little less full leaving more room for ornaments. The Burton’s specialty tree is a natural Noble Fir grafted from trees selected for their color, shape and disease resistant quality.
