Ergle Christmas Tree Farm - Dade City, Florida

This tree farm is not to be trusted. I called ahead, due to the distance I would have to drive and time constraints, to see what types of trees, how tall, and what prices. I wanted a 10 ft tree. I was told $150. I repeated it with a question mark, and they said it again $150. Because it is near the end for fresh trees, I did not think this was at all strange.
I drove 1.5 hours there to fine 8-9 ft trees for the most part ranging from $198-220.

When I asked about the tree heights and prices, I was treated rudely, told that no one would have told me that, and lectured on the prices of trees and cost of caring for and selling them. I was told they wanted to make me happy.

I went ahead and found a 8-9 ft tree (determined to just pay whatever they asked without arguing). Because of the bottom of the tree I picked and not wanting to cut off the bottom branches which were about 5 inches from the bottom, I only wanted to cut it once. Two times I told the assistant “Do NOT cut the tree. I will let my husband do that. I explained about the branches on the bottom, and he agreed to shake it and bag it BUT NOT CUT it.

“When the owner cane out to get the tree with the assistant, he said $198. I calmly went to pay. They brought the tree to my car and put to on top. When I got home and stood out of the car, I noticed a fresh cut on the bottom of the tree, right up next to the lower branches. !!!!

I called back to complain to the owner, and he denied that the helper would EVER do anything wrong. He said he would give me my money back, but I would need to drive all the way back to the tree farm (1.5 hours there) and leave the tree, and he would give me my money back. I paid $210.85 for them to call me a liar, twice, and cut the bottom of my tree off!!! The tree will now not look right at all! $210!!!

My husband will not be able to put this tree in water till 6-8 hrs after we bought it. As you can see from the bottom, if we cut it again, we will be cutting off big branches needed to make the tree pretty and full. My husband is NOT going to be happy.

I am very disappointed ☹️

now my 3rd year going with my kids !
we love the place.

yall do need some new saws lol
seriously though,
we enjoy the walk through a great variety of trees . the entire facility is clean. it's now a tradition to pick out 1 ornament at a $3 budget .
always a friendly attendant when we purchase a tree that is VERY reasonably-priced ..
picnic tables to sit and relax.
just amazing 👏.

Warm and welcoming Christmas tree farm worth the drive from Tampa! Ergle’s had a great selection of pre-cut trees in all shapes and sizes and it was literally like walking through a forrest of wonderful smelling trees! I bought a pre-cut tree however they had a lot of FL grown trees ready to be cut since they do offer cut your own! The staff were friendly, helpful and in abundance! This was my first time to a tree farm in FL and I think I’ll be back next year!

Ergles Christmas tree farm has been a tradition for me and my family for the past 20+ years. My great-granddaughter (8 months old) joined us today for her first visit! Thanks to Tony and his beautiful wife for a great experience every year!!

Absolutely BEST place to get your tree! They have firs, pines, and cypress. They have potted trees, too. There is a gift shop with great little treats and ornaments, too. They offer kettle popcorn, handmade Christmas wreaths, and so much more! This 60-acre farm has been established for decades. My family has been coming here every year since I was a young child. The customer service we received is incredible! Workers are very friendly and helpful. It's so much fun to walk the trees and pick one that we want. They have firs from North Carolina. They come in and immediately get put on a stand and in water. They are put in a shaded and covered area. They also have pines and cypress that you can cut down yourself using a hand saw that they provide. Overall, it's a wonderful experience and a definite MUST to visit Ergle Christmas Tree Farm in Dade City, Florida.

My wife and I have purchased our Christmas trees from Ergle tree farms for years. We have always had a great experience there. The owners and staff are terrific . This year we feel was the best tree we ever had. We have had it for a month and it is still as fresh as the day we we bought it. Thanks Ergle keep up the good work . Rich and Amanda
