Buchanan's Evergreen Farm

Hookstown, Pennsylvania · Beaver County

Opens Nov 21

Opens November 21.

Buchanan's has been cutting trees on Route 18 in Hookstown since 1978, out where Beaver County runs toward the Ohio line — close enough to the airport and the Burgettstown amphitheater that it's the farm most Pittsburgh families think of first. Better than a hundred acres of Canaan fir and Colorado blue spruce, some of it up to sixteen feet.

Cut-your-own trees run six to sixteen feet; the pre-cut rack runs six to ten. The shop has fresh wreaths, ornaments and decorations, and a photographer books mini-sessions the weekend before opening day and again on opening weekend — November 14, 15, 21 and 22, reserved by phone. Two things to sort out before you drive: it's cash or check only, and pets aren't allowed on the farm.

Christmas tree disposal and recycling in Pennsylvania

The other end of the same trip: when the tree comes down in January, disposal and recycling are a city job and the rules change at the city line — here is who takes it in Philadelphia · Pittsburgh — or Christmas tree disposal in every city we cover →

How do I dispose of a Christmas tree in Pennsylvania?
Not at the farm — getting rid of a tree is a city service, and the rules change at the city line. We read the tree collection page for 2 cities in Pennsylvania, linked just above: each one says whether the tree goes out for curbside pickup or to a drop-off site, and what has to come off it before it does.
Is there Christmas tree recycling in Pennsylvania?
Both cities we cover in Pennsylvania say on their own pages what becomes of a collected tree, and our pages quote that sentence. Where a city doesn't say, we don't say it either.
Who handles Christmas tree removal once the season is over?
The city, or the county authority that runs collection for it — that is the body every page in that January list is read from, and the only one that can tell you when it is running. Private haulers will take a tree away as well; they are not on this site, because we only write down what a city puts in writing itself.
