A Fresh Approach to Christmas Décor: Potted Christmas Trees

There’s a quiet sophistication in bringing a living Christmas tree into your home—something only the most discerning holiday hosts have rediscovered. As cut Christmas trees and artificial Christmas tree options fade in relevance, the live potted Christmas tree stands out as its own festive tradition. Lynch Creek Farm, long renowned for its artisanal conifers, garlands, wreaths, and expertise as a grower, is driving this elegant shift.

Scarlet Forest Living Christmas Tree

Wander into a magical woodland with the Scarlet Forest Living Christmas Tree, where rustic holiday magic gets a touch of pure enchantment. This living tree, planted and cradled in a gleaming silver metal container, is more than just décor; it’s a portal to a winter fairy tale. Frosted pinecones rest among lush branches, while clusters of glistening faux red berries peek through like hidden forest jewels. Silver-and-white ornaments catch the light, their sparkle echoed by a shimmering garland of silver beads that winds gracefully around the tree.

At the very top, a radiant red satin bow spills its ribbons in a cascade of color, inviting the eye upward. And when you add the included strand of twinkling LED lights, the entire tree glows—casting a spell of warmth and wonder wherever it stands. With every detail thoughtfully chosen, this beauty is only a few feet tall and transforms any space into an enchanted holiday hideaway, blending refinement with the untamed beauty of the forest. Even the best artificial Christmas tree cannot compete.

Whether gracing a mantel, brightening a tabletop, or welcoming guests in the entryway, this living tree brings a sophisticated, festive charm to any space. A gift that captures the wonder and warmth of the holidays.

Our signature living mini trees are Dwarf Alberta Spruce—one of the most beloved conifers in the world of stylish holiday decor. Each real Christmas tree arrives potted with soil in a tasteful container, its root ball nestled like a promise for next year’s greenery. These miniature potted Christmas tree selections aren’t handmade tabletop tree arrangements or artificial stand-ins. This is a bona fide tree species: a spruce tree, perfectly sized for modern living.

Effortless Beauty, Effortless Care

Unlike traditional cut Christmas trees, a potted tree from Lynch Creek Farm is equal parts beauty and practicality without the hassle of a tree stand. You’ll find them the ideal size, only a few feet tall—transforming any space from a living room centerpiece to a chic welcome on the front porch. Display wherever you desire; their compact shape works atop tables, beside seating, or even in entryways.

There’s no tricky maintenance routine. Treat your living Christmas tree as a houseplant: water regularly, allowing the soil to stay moist but never soggy. Tuck a few ice cubes onto the soil every so often—they’ll slowly release water, keeping that root ball healthy. Avoid direct sunlight and any spots too close to heat sources for best longevity through the holiday season. With just these simple steps, your potted tree will look as lively as the day it arrived.

Chic, Responsible, and Eco-Friendly

Showrooms crammed with artificial Christmas trees can’t compete with a living tree’s presence. The Dwarf Alberta Spruce tree isn’t just stylish; it’s a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative that lasts long after the ornaments are packed away. Once the festivities are done, your tree can be repotted outdoors or in a larger container to flourish for next year. Imagine a Christmas tradition where your tree grows along with your family and memories.

Endless Opportunities for Elegance and Creativity
