tree farm

Commercial pine plantation

A tree farm is land where trees are cultivated as a crop, typically for timber, pulpwood, or Christmas trees.

Unlike natural forests, tree farms are planted and managed for commercial harvest: The family has run a tree farm in Oregon for three generations.

Some tree farms offer seasonal activities like choose-your-own Christmas tree cutting.
