- Bring work gloves for when you’re handling the tree.
- Consider bringing your own hand saw in case there are limited saws available at the farm. Note, electric or powered chainsaws are generally not permitted.
- Other tools to bring include twine, a tarp to help transport big trees and to line your car, and ropes and cords to secure your tree on your vehicle.
- Some tree farms welcome well-behaved, leashed dogs. Always check in advance before you bring your four-legged friend.
