A 50-plus-year Provo institution known locally for real flocked trees, but most of its roughly 1,800 trees a season are harvested from Utah and Wyoming growing areas and trucked to the lot rather than grown on site, so ask about provenance if that distinction matters to you.
Baum’s Christmas Trees carries a long history in Provo — a BYU student newspaper feature describes the Baum family selling trees there for more than 50 years, which puts it among the more established names in Utah County. That kind of longevity is worth something on its own, but the more useful detail for a visitor is understanding exactly what “choose-and-cut” means at this particular lot, because it isn’t quite what the label usually implies.
Sources checked for this listing are mixed on how much of Baum’s inventory is actually grown on site. The clearest picture available: the Baum family does grow some trees, including Austrian pine, on their own Provo property year-round, and at least one source describes a genuine field-walking, choose-and-cut experience for those on-site trees. But most of the roughly 1,800 trees sold in a typical season are harvested by the family from growing areas in Utah and Wyoming during July and August, then trucked to the Provo lot for sale. That puts the operation somewhere between a true grow-your-own farm and a seasonal retail lot — closer to the latter for most of what’s on offer. Whether that distinction matters to you is a personal call, but it’s worth asking on arrival which category the tree you’re eyeing falls into, since this file isn’t guessing which is which and marks the precut-only field as unconfirmed rather than assuming.
One thing that does set Baum’s apart locally: it’s known for offering real flocked trees, which the record describes as unusual for a Utah County farm. If you’re specifically shopping for a flocked tree rather than a natural green one, that’s a genuine point in this farm’s favor that most other listings in this research batch don’t offer at all.
No season dates, hours, phone number, or pricing were found anywhere checked, which is a wider gap than most farms in this file — even farms with thin records elsewhere usually had at least a phone number. The Facebook page appears to be the primary way to reach the business. Reviews were reported in the high 4-star range with around 90 reviews per a secondary source, suggesting solid local standing, though that figure wasn’t independently re-verified here.
Baum’s offers real history and a genuine flocking option you won’t find at most other farms in this file, but its “choose-and-cut” label covers a mostly trucked-in inventory, and the complete absence of a confirmed phone number, hours, or pricing means this is a farm to visit in person or message on Facebook rather than plan around from a distance.

Skip Baum's if you're specifically looking for a true field-walking, cut-your-own experience across the whole inventory, since most of the roughly 1,800 trees sold each season are harvested elsewhere in midsummer and brought to the Provo lot rather than grown and cut on site, and skip it if you need to call ahead to confirm details, since no phone number was found in this research.
No other Utah County farm appears in this same research batch, so no direct comparison is available here.
Partly. The record marks it as choose-and-cut rather than cut-your-own, and describes a field-walking experience for at least the on-site-grown Austrian pines, but most of the roughly 1,800 trees sold each season are harvested elsewhere in midsummer and brought to the lot.
The record and tags describe Baum's as known locally for offering real flocked trees, which is described as unusual among Utah County tree sellers, though specifics on the flocking process or cost weren't found.
Reportedly 50-plus years, per a BYU student newspaper feature on the family's history in the business.
Austrian pine is the only species specifically named in the record, tied to the farm's own on-site-grown trees; species for the trucked-in portion of inventory aren't specified.
