Bay County Christmas tree farms ready for the rush

December is time to pick that perfect Christmas tree in Bay County. Jim Bruzewski, owner of Jim’s Tree Farm, 733 W. Parish Road, is ready for the rush. The 30-year-old, family-run business sells trees ranging $17.99 to $31, depending on the species and its size. Bruzewski said the cheapest, fastest growing trees are the Scotch pines, but the most popular are blue and Fraser firs. Bruzewski said he isn’t concerned that artificial trees are taking over the Christmas-tree business. He sees many of the same people year after year, seeking the pine scent the trees offer and the family time of cutting or buying a pre-cut tree for Christmas together.
