This project provides Christmas trees for sale to the Richmond community and generates income for the Richmond Jaycees general fund. The tree lot will be open from November 24 through December 23 or 24 (while supplies last) and will be located near the corner of Laburnum Avenue and Monticello St. on the Thirteen Acres lot in front of Linwood Holton Elementary School. The tree lot will be open from 10 AM to 9 PM, Monday through Friday and 9 AM to 9 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
Since the early 1980’s, the Chapter has established a franchise on a centrally located site at a busy intersection in Richmond’s Northside. The Chapter has carved a market niche by selling tall trees that fit the high ceilings of the city’s older homes. We have now fully re-established ourselves on that particular spot on the Thirteen Acres site after the 1998 relocation necessitated by the construction of Holton Elementary School. In the past we have sold trees to a diverse customer base that includes many repeat customers and even some from places as far away as New York and Pennsylvania.
We sell many different styles of trees and they are: Balsams that range from 4 ft to 12 ft, Blue Spruce that range from 6 ft to 8 ft and Fraser Firs that range from 6 ft to 9ft. In addition, Garland and wreaths will be sold.
