Our take

Brushy Mountain stands out in this directory for a specific, confirmed reason: alongside more than 10,000 conventionally grown fir trees, it sells trees whose needles have been sprayed with a fall colorant in blue, purple, red, or pink — a genuine novelty option that shows up nowhere else in this batch of West Virginia farms. This isn’t a rumor picked up from one source; it’s described consistently across the farm’s own website, a WCHS-TV “Traveling West Virginia” segment, and a regional OnlyInYourState feature.

The colored trees, and the natural ones behind them

The novelty product tends to get the press attention, but it sits on top of a real, sizable growing operation: Fraser, Douglas, Canaan, and Concolor fir, running 5 to 12 feet, described as more than 10,000 trees under cultivation. If you’re not interested in a dyed tree, there’s a genuinely wide fir selection here on its own merits — Fraser fir in particular is broadly known for holding its needles longer than some alternative species, a general fact worth knowing rather than anything specific claimed about this farm’s trees.

What’s genuinely unconfirmed: the cutting mechanic

Here’s the honest gap in this record. Every source reviewed — the state forestry directory and the press coverage alike — confirms the farm operates choose-and-cut style, but none of them specify whether a saw is provided or whether the customer does the cutting versus staff. That’s an important detail for a family planning to make the cutting itself part of the visit, and it’s not something this page should guess at. Call ahead (304-358-2511) or check brushymountaintreefarm.com directly to find out what to expect and what, if anything, to bring.

Hours narrow fast after opening weekend

Opening day, expected Nov 27, 2026, runs a full 10 AM to 6 PM. After that, the schedule tightens considerably: Friday drops to just 3 to 6 PM, while Saturday (10 AM to 6 PM) and Sunday (11 AM to 6 PM) stay closer to a full day. If a Friday visit is your only option, plan around that shortened window rather than assuming standard daytime hours will be available.

What’s for sale, and what isn’t stated

Wreaths, centerpieces, tree stands, and other supplies are sold on site alongside the trees, per research notes. No price figure for any of it — trees or extras — turned up in any source reviewed, so this page can’t offer a dollar amount, only the honest fact that you’ll need to ask when you call or arrive. Given the farm’s press visibility and the appeal of a genuinely unusual novelty product, it’s a reasonable stop to build a trip around, provided you’re comfortable confirming a couple of open questions before you go.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Opening day, Nov 27, 2026 (10 AM-6 PM), gives you the longest single-day window; after that, Saturday (10 AM-6 PM) or Sunday (11 AM-6 PM) offer more time than the short Friday slot.

How long to budget

Not documented, but with more than 10,000 trees grown across four fir species plus a novelty colored-tree option, browsing may take longer than at a smaller farm.

Crowds

Not documented, though press coverage and a distinctive product (colored trees) suggest this is a more visible, possibly busier farm than some smaller entries in this directory — an inference, not a confirmed number.

Parking

Not documented in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not documented. With more than 10,000 trees grown across a working farm, expect open field terrain rather than a paved, accessible lot.

What to bring

  • A question for staff about whether you cut your own tree or they do it for you — the record doesn't specify, and neither does whether a saw is provided
  • Extra time if visiting Friday, since hours that day run only 3 to 6 PM after opening weekend
  • Cash or check as a safe default, since card acceptance isn't confirmed

How to spend less here

  • No price is published anywhere in this record, so there's no dollar figure to plan around here without calling ahead or checking the farm's own website

Who it suits

Good for

  • anyone curious about a novelty colored Christmas tree — this farm sprays fir needles with a fall colorant in blue, purple, red, or pink as an alternative to natural green
  • fir shoppers with real choice: Fraser, Douglas, Canaan, and Concolor fir are all grown here, in 5-12 ft sizes
  • visitors who want some outside validation before driving out — the farm has been featured on WCHS-TV's 'Traveling West Virginia' and in regional 'best of' roundups

Skip it if

Skip a Friday visit unless you can make it between 3 and 6 PM specifically, since hours shrink to that narrow window after opening weekend, and skip the farm if you want a fully natural-only lot, since dyed novelty trees are part of the on-site selection.

Worth pairing with

Not documented in this record; other Potomac Highlands farms in this directory may be worth pairing with a visit here.

Common questions

What's the deal with the colored Christmas trees?

Alongside more than 10,000 conventionally grown Fraser, Douglas, Canaan, and Concolor fir trees, the farm sells trees whose needles have been sprayed with a fall colorant in blue, purple, red, or pink, as a novelty option for buyers wanting something other than natural green. This is confirmed by the farm's own website and multiple press features, not just a rumor.

Do I cut my own tree, or does staff do it?

Not stated in the record. Neither the state forestry directory nor the press coverage reviewed specifies whether saws are provided or whether customers cut their own trees, even though the farm is confirmed to operate choose-and-cut style. Ask directly when you call (304-358-2511) or check brushymountaintreefarm.com.

What are the hours after opening weekend?

They shrink noticeably: Friday runs only 3 to 6 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday 11 AM to 6 PM. Opening day itself (expected Nov 27, 2026) runs the longest, 10 AM to 6 PM.
