Get Your Christmas Tree at Mark's Tree Lot in Santa Rosa

This holiday season, don’t go to just any old Christmas tree lot—go to Mark’s Tree Lot in Santa Rosa. Easily located right off Highway 12 near the 101 interchange, Mark’s is filled with good holiday cheer and great fresh-cut trees: silver tips, noble firs, Douglas firs, and Nordman and grand firs, to be precise. Since 1979 Mark has been setting up and selling trees, and he’s back again 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day on the corner of West Third Avenue and Dutton Avenue in Santa Rosa.

Stop by and step into the festive gift shop for some complimentary hot apple cider and candy canes. Then stroll the lot and choose your tree.

A friendly staffer will help shake it and prep it (they’ll even get it set in your tree stand if you bring one along, or buy one on site). Custom flocking and flame proofing is available. Driving back to San Francisco? Don’t worry, the folks at Mark’s Tree Lot will ensure your tree is tightly secured for the journey home. Fir sure!

Mark’s Tree Lot is on the corner of W. Third Ave. and Dutton Ave. in Santa Rosa, right off Hwy. 12, just west of the Hwy. 101 interchange. Map. Dog-friendly!
