Linvilla Orchards

Media, Pennsylvania · Delaware County

Opens Nov 21

Opens November 21.

Linvilla is the Philadelphia area's Christmas farm, and Delaware County families have been riding the wagon out to its fields since they were kids themselves. Cut-your-own is mostly five- to seven-foot Douglas fir at one flat price with the saw included; the pre-cut lot carries eight kinds, from balsam and Canaan fir through Scotch pine and blue spruce.

The rest of Christmasland is why the trip eats an afternoon — Santa on weekend afternoons, pony rides and a petting zoo, a weekend makers market, wood-fired pizza, and the farm market and garden center at the front gate. No ticket or reservation for the trees, but be on the last wagon: it pulls out at 4 sharp.

The facts

• Cut-your-own Mon–Fri 10–4 and weekends 9–4; the last wagon out leaves at 4 sharp and the fields close at 4:45. Pre-cut trees are out daily 9–6.
• No reservation needed

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.
