At Maas Kerstbomen in Eersel you walk through the field and choose your own Christmas tree from four varieties grown on the farm: Nordmann, Abies, Omorika and Fraseri. The Nordmann is full and sturdy, the Fraseri is narrower, and neither has prickly needles; the Omorika grows tall and narrow with a blue sheen underneath. The sales location opens on Saturday 28 November 2026 and is then open every day. Hours are 9.00 to 20.00 Monday to Friday, 9.00 to 17.00 on Saturday and 10.00 to 17.00 on Sunday. Each tree is drilled beforehand so it fits directly onto an EasyFix stand sold on site, which holds water and feed. The farm also supplies trees to traders in pots, with root balls or cut, in sizes from 60 to 275 cm depending on the variety.

What visitors say

Fresh Christmas trees come in many types and sizes. There is a good system for securing them, and they are packed neatly on site. The staff are helpful and give good advice. Some find the prices good; others feel they have risen compared with earlier years.
