Uncle Paul's Trees

Our take

Uncle Paul’s Trees has been cutting Christmas trees for more than 20 years on a field along Highway 32, roughly 60 miles north of Appleton and just north of the small community of Breed. That’s the detail worth holding onto, because this operation is easy to mix up with itself: the same business also runs a separate retail tree lot in the Appleton area, and the two locations keep different hours. Search results and local coverage don’t always make clear which location a given piece of information describes.

Why the season dates aren’t listed here

The most specific schedule we found – daily, Nov. 29 through Dec. 22 – describes the Appleton-area retail lot, based on how the source presented it, not necessarily the Suring choose-and-cut field itself. Rather than apply retail-lot dates to a rural cut-your-own field that likely runs on a different schedule, we’re leaving season start and end null here. That’s the more honest choice, even though it means we can’t tell you exactly when to show up. Call ahead and specifically ask about the Suring field’s hours, not the Appleton lot’s, to avoid driving out on a day the field happens to be closed.

What’s actually at the Suring field

Four species: Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir, Blue Spruce, and Canaan Fir. On-site amenities include hayrides out to the cutting area, a campfire where you can warm up, hot chocolate, and wreaths for sale – a fairly classic, unfussy cut-your-own setup without a long list of extra attractions. The farm also bales trees after cutting.

Money: an old number, flagged as old

The one pricing figure we found anywhere is $5 per foot, sourced from a 2018 Wisconsin Farmer article. That’s a real number from a real source, so under our rule we can state it – but we’re also required to tell you plainly that an eight-year-old per-foot rate is very likely outdated, and pricing structures (per-foot vs. flat rate) can change entirely in that time. Treat $5/ft as historical context, not a number to budget around, and confirm current pricing by phone before you go. No phone number was found in the sources checked for this listing, so check the farm’s site (unclepaulschristmastrees.weebly.com) for current contact information.

What we don’t know

Hours, current-year season dates, saw availability, and cash-or-card policy are all unconfirmed for the Suring field specifically. The coordinates on file are a Suring village-center estimate rather than the farm’s actual location on Highway 32, so navigate by the street address.

If a straightforward hayride-and-campfire visit appeals to you, this is a solid, unpretentious option once you’ve confirmed you have the right location’s hours. Just don’t let the name similarity between the two locations send you to the wrong lot.
