Locally Sourced × grown with Love

 

Since 1951, The Stempky Family has been providing fresh cut Christmas trees & custom tree services for you and your family.

Our trees are cared for by hand and given the love and attention they deserve. 

Whether it's a Christmas Tree that becomes part of your family holiday tradition, or a new addition to your landscaping and homestead, we pride ourselves on quality work, healthy trees, customer service and an unrivaled Northern Michigan work ethic.

In 1951 Stanley Stempky first purchased a plot of land in Cheboygan, Michigan. Those 500+ acres were beautiful and rolling with hardwoods and open valleys. That first year Stanley hand-planted hundreds of evergreen trees.

Years later, Fred would take over the family business with Stanley's passing and raise his 4 girls at the tree nursery–continuing the longstanding tradition of Stempky Nursery Trees being an integral part to the Holiday Tree market in both Northern & Southeastern Michigan.

Today, Fred still runs the farm in Cheboygan, but each year when the calendar flips to fall you can find the entire family out harvesting trees and preparing for the busy season. On these crisp November days you’ll find four generations of Stempkys working to get your holiday tree prepared for you and your family.

Fir Varieties

Sturdy branches and tightly packed needles make Fir trees ideal for ornament duty. If you're after that festive holiday fragrance, a Fir will serve you well. Their needles also have good retention and have a "bushier" appearance than other trees. Firs are one of the top major Christmas tree species in the U.S.

We offer: Frasier Fir, Balsam Fir, Douglas Fir & Concolor Fir

Pine Varieties

Soft and fluffier than your average Christmas tree, a pine tree just may be the prettiest of the bunch. The longer, softer needles paired with good retention help the Pine tree's popularity. However, keep in mind they have very little fragrance and due to their more delicate nature, heavier ornaments are not ideal.

We offer: White Pine & Scotch Pine

Spruce Varieties

Spruce trees are increasing in popularity as a Christmas tree due to their pleasing symmetrical form and attractive blue-green foliage. The species has an excellent shape but has very little aroma. Additionally, needle retention is top-notch, which is good news for your vacuum

We offer: Blue Spruce, White Spruce, & Norway Spruce

We offer custom digging (balled and burlap) available for both wholesale and retail for all trees in sizes 3 to 12 feet. We also offer custom yard planting work available in the Cheboygan area.
