A thin, unverified listing with a name, address, and phone number but no confirmed hours, pricing, species, or even certainty that this address hosts public cut-your-own visits at all.
Benson’s Trees is the thinnest kind of listing in this directory: a name, an address on South 3rd Street in Missoula, a phone number, and a single phrase describing the offering, “Christmas trees, you choose and you cut.” Beyond that, nothing. No hours, no season dates, no pricing, no species, no activities, and no working website or confirmed current social media presence turned up in any source checked.
Most thin listings in this batch are simply under-documented. This one has an added wrinkle. A 2014 newspaper article about a California seasonal tree-lot business referenced a “Benson’s Trees, based in Missoula” as a prior owner of tree lots that were bought out, implying that business was a supplier to retail tree lots elsewhere rather than an operation hosting the public for on-site cutting. It’s genuinely unclear whether that’s the same Benson’s Trees as this listing, or a related but different side of the business, or entirely unconnected. That distinction matters a lot for a visitor. A source farm that wholesales trees to lots in other cities is not the same thing as a field open to the public with a saw in hand, and if this address is the former, driving out expecting the latter would be a wasted trip.
Adding to the uncertainty, the record notes that the address given for this listing geocodes to zip code 59804 rather than the 59801 stated in the original source. That’s a minor detail on its own, but combined with the lack of any independent confirmation, it’s one more reason to treat this as an unverified lead rather than a plan-ready destination.
If Benson’s Trees interests you, mainly because it’s one of the few Missoula-area cut-your-own mentions in this batch, the only responsible next step is a phone call before you go. Ask directly whether the address hosts public cut-your-own visits, what the hours and season are, what a tree costs, and whether the person on the other end recognizes the description of the business you’re asking about. None of that can be answered from the record.
It’s worth contrasting this with other Missoula-area listings in this same batch that carry real, if unconfirmed, operational detail, like a farm with a stated schedule and payment policy even without a published season date. Benson’s Trees doesn’t clear that bar. It sits below even the thinnest of the farms that at least have a research_notes narrative describing a working operation, which is why this page treats it as a phone-call-first lead rather than a farm worth planning around.
There isn’t enough here to recommend a visit or rule one out. Benson’s Trees may be a legitimate, overlooked local cut-your-own option, or it may be a supplier-side business that isn’t set up for public visits at all. Treat it as a lead worth one phone call, not a farm worth a drive without one.

Skip Benson's Trees unless you call first and confirm it's actually a public cut-your-own operation, since the only detail beyond a name, address, and phone number is the phrase "you choose and you cut," and a 2014 newspaper reference to a Missoula-based Benson's Trees supplying tree lots elsewhere raises real doubt about whether this address is set up for on-site visits at all.
No specific nearby-farm comparison is available in this record.
The one description found says "Christmas trees, you choose and you cut," but no hours, pricing, or species were published anywhere, and a separate 2014 news reference to a Missoula-based Benson's Trees describes it supplying tree lots rather than hosting on-site cutting. It's unclear if that's the same operation.
The listed address is 3330 South 3rd Street, but the record notes a zip code discrepancy between the source (59801) and the map geocode (59804), which is a minor but real flag to double-check before relying on GPS alone.
