Cedar Lake charges a flat $60 for any choose-and-cut Virginia pine, red cedar, or Leyland cypress, a genuinely simple pricing model, plus mountain-grown pre-cut Fraser and Turkish fir for shoppers who want that species instead - but confirm current details since this wasn't built from a direct site read.
Flat $60 for any choose-and-cut Virginia pine, red cedar, or Leyland cypress; pre-cut Fraser fir and Turkish fir trucked in from the NC mountains are priced separately by size and were not itemized in the source.
Cedar Lake solves a problem most other farms in this dataset don’t: unpredictable, size-dependent pricing. For Virginia pine, red cedar, or Leyland cypress, all grown on the farm itself, the price is a flat $60 regardless of how tall a tree you choose. That’s a genuinely different model from the height-tiered pricing seen at farms elsewhere in this region, where a bigger tree simply costs more. Here, if you’re choosing among those three species, the size decision and the price decision are separated: pick the tree that fits your space, and the cost is fixed.
That flat rate doesn’t extend to everything on the lot, though. Cedar Lake also sells pre-cut Fraser fir and Turkish fir, trucked in from the North Carolina mountains for shoppers who specifically want those species but don’t want to make the drive west themselves. Those trees are priced separately by size, and the sources used for this listing didn’t include an itemized price sheet for them. If Fraser or Turkish fir is what you want, expect a different, size-based cost structure than the flat $60 covers.
Research notes describe this as one of the closest real choose-and-cut farms to Charlotte, which is a meaningful convenience if you live in or near the city and would rather not drive two-plus hours into the mountains for a tree. You’re trading some species variety and the higher-elevation growing conditions of the Blue Ridge for a shorter drive, a tradeoff that may make sense depending on how much a specific species matters to you versus how much drive time you want to spend.
Unlike some listings in this batch built from a direct read of the farm’s own website, this one comes from search-result summaries of the farm’s site along with Yelp and Yellow Pages listings; a direct fetch of the farm’s own current page wasn’t completed for this research pass. That means the flat $60 figure and the listed hours, while specific and plausible, carry somewhat less certainty than a farm-verified listing. A quick call to 704-201-8922 before visiting is a reasonable step, particularly to confirm the flat rate is still current and to get an actual number for the pre-cut mountain-grown trees.
An on-site country store, farm animals for kids, and scheduled Santa visits during the season round out the visit, giving it more of a family-outing character than a purely transactional tree stop, on top of the long daily hours that run until 8pm every day of the week.
Daily, Monday-Saturday 9am-8pm and Sunday 10am-8pm, per available sources - long hours that leave room for an evening visit, not just a daytime one. No confirmed 2026 season start or end date was found.
30-60 minutes for a straightforward cut-your-own purchase, longer if you browse the country store or visit the farm animals.
Not specified, but long daily hours (open until 8pm every day) likely spread visitors across more of the day than farms with shorter or weekends-only hours.

Skip if you need farm-confirmed details rather than directory summaries - this listing wasn't built from a direct site read, so verify hours and pricing before making a special trip.
