Majestyk Mountain Tree Farm

Our Tree Farm

The Santa’s Coliseum family carefully tends to our 133 acres of Christmas tree farms in Washington year-round to bring you the freshest, most beautiful trees in the San Francisco Bay Area.  It is a labor of love, knowing that we are sharing with our Bay Area friends the joyous sights, sounds and scents of an old-time Christmas, and creating cherished memories for the future.  How can taking a dusty, foreign-made, artificial tree out of a box in the basement ever compare to seeing your children running through a forest of fragrant, freshly cut, soft green trees, choosing just the right one for their family’s holiday festivities?

Seed Farm – Grow Your Own Christmas Trees!

Santa’s Coliseum has a seed orchard at our Majestyk Mountain Tree Farm from select trees.  These choice seeds originated in the Cascade Range area and have a superior germination rate of over 70%.  We harvest, process and store the premium cones in a specially designed, controlled temperature facility.  It is from these seeds that we grow the beautiful, full, hardy Noble Fir trees you will find at the Santa’s Coliseum Christmas Trees locations.

Our premium seeds are available for sale to you in quantities from five (5) lbs. up to fifty (50) lbs. purchases (with a seed count of approximately 11,630 per pound).  To order and arrange shipping, please call: Jeffery Wiemken at 360-281-3932 cell or 360-835-0886 office.

Environmental Support

Did you know that by buying a real Santa’s Coliseum Christmas tree you are also supporting the environment?  Christmas trees are a true conservation crop. Our Christmas Trees are grown on soil that doesn't support other crops. Christmas Trees stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts. By replacing annual crops that require plowing, disking, and harrowing each year, the longer Christmas tree crop cycle of eight to ten years provides many avenues for environmental improvements, which allow the land to rebound and diversify.

Christmas trees are pruned by hand every summer, depositing large quantities of twigs and needles onto the ground, which combine over the years with other organic matter to enrich the soil.  The shade from the Christmas trees helps reduce soil evaporation, offers refuge for small birds, rodents and other mammals. While they're growing, Christmas trees support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and emitting fresh oxygen. An acre of Christmas trees will produce enough daily oxygen for 18 people.  Considering that in the United States there are approximately 500,000 acres of Christmas trees, this means that about 9 million people a day are supplied with oxygen thanks to these trees.

Finally, Christmas trees are recyclable and renewable.  For every Christmas tree harvested, seedlings are planted in its place the following spring.  After the holiday season, Christmas tree consumers, growers and vendors can donate the used trees to recycling programs for uses such as composting and even special food treats for elephants and other large zoo herbivores!  Please don't try this with artificial trees which could contain non-biodegradable plastics and possible metal toxins such as lead!

Employment Generation

Because Christmas tree farming is so labor intensive, it generates strong, stable employment in rural areas, while at the same time reducing the amount of heavy equipment usage on that land.  About 21,000 Christmas Tree growers in the U.S. provide employment for over 100,000 people full or part-time.
