[Kathie Fry]

Fresh cut Christmas trees will be available starting this weekend at these two upcountry Maui farms:

Kula Botanical Gardens

Kula, Maui Island, Hawaii 96790
Phone: 808-878-1715
(This 9 acre farm owned by Helen and Warren McCord typically sells 1000 to 2000 Monterey Pine Christmas trees every year, ranging from 4 to 20 feet tall.)

Upcountry Farm Specialties (no web site)

Kula, Maui Island, Hawaii

(This fruit, protea, and coffee farm owned by Shirley and Hugo Buetler sets aside 3 acres of their land for planting Christmas trees. 2008 is the first year they've sold trees to the general public, and they expect to sell between 300 and 400 trees this year)

Trees shipped to Maui from the U.S. Mainland will be available from Wal-Mart and other Maui retail stores.
