Our take

Davidson sits on 60 acres in Upperco, in Baltimore County, and distinguishes itself from smaller roadside operations with a snack bar and gift shop on the property. That’s real infrastructure, not just a field with trees in it, and it points to a farm built for a longer visit than a five-minute grab-a-tree stop.

The gap that matters most here

The record found no 2026-specific season dates, and no dollar pricing for the trees themselves. That’s not unusual this early in the year – most Maryland farms in this batch hadn’t posted 2026 dates when this research was done – but it does mean you can’t plan a specific weekend around this farm yet. What is documented is the farm’s own tree-prices page, which reportedly folds drilling, netting, shaking, and tax into one listed price rather than nickel-and-diming you for each service separately. That’s a real, useful structural detail even without a number attached to it: it tells you the sticker price is closer to the true out-the-door cost than at farms that add fees at checkout.

Hours with a catch

Posted hours are Friday through Sunday 8:30am to 5pm, and Monday through Thursday noon to 5pm. But the field entrance itself closes at 4:30pm, a full half hour before the farm’s overall closing time. That’s the kind of detail that’s easy to miss on a quick read of a farm’s hours page and easy to feel the consequences of if you show up at 4:45 expecting to walk out and pick a tree. Build in the buffer, especially on shorter December days when daylight is already tight.

What the record does and doesn’t confirm about cutting your own

The research notes describe Davidson as a “choose-your-tree operation,” which suggests visitors pick a standing tree in the field, likely with staff doing the cutting – but the structured fields tracking cut-your-own versus choose-and-cut versus pre-cut-only are all blank in this record. That’s worth a direct phone call if the physical experience of cutting your own tree (or not) matters to how you want to spend your afternoon. The farm does grow Fraser fir, blue spruce, and balsam fir, giving you a real choice of species once you’re there, and Fraser fir in particular is well known for holding its needles longer than many other cut trees.

The honest bottom line on planning around this farm

Nothing here should stop you from putting Davidson on a shortlist, but nothing here should let you build a firm plan around it yet either. No 2026 dates, no confirmed price, and an unconfirmed cutting arrangement add up to a farm that’s worth a call before you drive out – not because anything is wrong with it, but because the public record for 2026 simply isn’t filled in yet. A 60-acre farm with a snack bar and gift shop is a meaningfully bigger outing than a small lot, so it’s worth getting the details right before you commit an afternoon to it.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Unknown until 2026 season dates are published; the farm's Fri-Sun 8:30am-5pm and Mon-Thu 12pm-5pm hours are the current baseline, but field entrance closes at 4:30pm regardless of the posted closing time.

How long to budget

Not documented, though a 60-acre property with a snack bar and gift shop suggests more than a quick in-and-out stop.

Crowds

Not documented in the record.

Parking

Not described in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not described in the record; 60 acres suggests real walking distance to reach trees, though the record doesn't confirm terrain or field layout.

What to bring

  • A phone call before you go, since no 2026 season dates or pricing were found
  • A plan to arrive well before 4:30pm, since that's when field entrance closes even though the farm stays open later

How to spend less here

  • The farm's own tree-prices page reportedly bundles drilling, netting, shaking, and tax into the sticker price rather than charging for each separately, per the record -- though no dollar figures were found, so this is a structural note, not a price.

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors who want a choice of Fraser fir, blue spruce, or balsam fir on one property
  • Families who want a snack bar and gift shop as part of the trip, not just a tree
  • Anyone comfortable calling ahead to confirm details the website doesn't spell out yet

Skip it if

Skip if you need firm 2026 dates or pricing before you can plan, or if you're counting on browsing the field right up to a 5pm close, since field access cuts off at 4:30pm.

Worth pairing with

Common questions

Is Davidson Christmas Tree Farm cut-your-own or pre-cut?

What are the hours?

Friday through Sunday 8:30am-5pm, Monday through Thursday 12pm-5pm -- but field entrance closes at 4:30pm even on days the farm is open until 5pm.

Does the tree price include extras like netting or a stand drilled for a stand?

The farm's own tree-prices page reportedly includes drilling, netting, shaking, and tax in the listed price rather than charging for each separately, according to the record. No dollar amount was found to confirm what that price actually is.
