The only farm in this batch offering dyed pink, blue, and white Christmas trees alongside traditional fir and spruce -- a genuine novelty option, though no pricing exists anywhere to tell you what any of it costs.
Jamie Helsel Tree Farms, near McBain in Missaukee County, stands out in this entire research batch for one specific and unusual offering: dyed or flocked Christmas trees in pink, blue, and white, sold alongside the more traditional fir and spruce selections. That’s not something we found at any other farm in this collection, and it’s worth knowing about if a colored tree – for a themed room, a kids’ space, or just something different – is on your list this year.
Most farms in this region stick to natural green fir, spruce, and pine varieties. Offering pink, blue, and white as options alongside those is a genuine novelty, and it’s the kind of detail that could make this farm worth a longer drive if that specific look is what you’re after. We don’t have pricing to tell you whether these carry a premium over a standard tree – farms that offer dyed or flocked trees elsewhere often do charge more for them, but we have no number from this farm specifically, so we won’t state one.
Beyond the U-cut lot itself, the farm offers delivery, potted living trees, and wholesale trees. If you’d rather skip the hauling altogether, delivery is a real option here, which isn’t true of every farm in this batch.
The farm describes its season as running from Thanksgiving weekend through late December, but that’s a general description rather than a specific set of dates tied to any particular year. We deliberately didn’t try to convert that into a firm start and end date, since it’s genuinely unclear from what we found whether it’s a fixed annual policy or was describing a past season specifically. Treat it as a rough window and confirm the specifics closer to your visit.
Even without a specific start and end date, “Thanksgiving weekend through late December” tells you something real: this farm is describing a season that runs closer to a full holiday span than the compressed three-to-four-week windows some other farms in this region use. If that general framing holds, arriving in early-to-mid December – after the initial post-Thanksgiving rush but with enough of the season left that trees haven’t been picked over – is a reasonable middle-ground strategy, though it’s a general planning heuristic rather than anything this specific record confirms.
No pricing was found for trees, delivery, wreaths, or potted living trees. No specific hours were published either – just the general season description above.
If the colored-tree novelty appeals to you, this is genuinely worth a special trip, since it’s not an option you’ll find easily elsewhere in this region. Just go in prepared to ask about price on arrival or by phone, since nothing here is published in advance.
