At Aaldering Kerstbomen in Groessen you pick your own Christmas tree from the field. The farm grows fijnspar (Norway spruce) and Servische spar (Serbian spruce) on its own land. It also sells Nordmann firs bought from a regular grower in Germany, and small potted Conica dwarf spruces from 55 to 85 cm high.

You choose a tree yourself on the marked plots. The farm digs it up or saws it off for you, trims off any extra branches, wraps it in a net and can drill a hole in the trunk so it fits an EasyFix stand. Fijnspar and Servische spar are available with or without a root ball; Nordmann trees are sold cut only. Transport carts are on hand to wheel the tree to your car, and staff will help you load it.

The 2026 sale opens with an early bird weekend on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November, 12.00 to 17.00. From Wednesday 25 November to Friday 18 December the farm is open daily from 10.00 to 17.00, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 9.00. You can pay by cash or PIN.

EasyFix stands are sold on site for €30.00 (standard) and €55.00 (maxi, for trees up to 2.80 metres). With a tree you can take free loose greenery for decorations. Raw honey from the beehive on the Christmas tree land is also for sale while stocks last, at €8.00 for a 450 g jar.
