A well-regarded, Veteran- and Native Hawaiian-owned cypress farm on a working ranch, but the farm's own website had not posted any 2026 dates, hours, or pricing at the time of this research, so there's genuinely nothing to plan around yet beyond calling ahead.
A third-party roundup (Best Local Things / Outdoor Families Adventures) cites roughly $16/ft average pricing; this figure is not stated anywhere on the farm's own website.
Hooluana Tree Farm operates on Hooluana Ranch, a family property in Mountain View founded in 1998 by Tom and Luana Beck, who wanted to recreate the tree-cutting tradition they’d known in Washington State for their own family and for the wider Big Island community. Like every tree farm in Hawaii, what’s for sale here is cypress rather than a traditional fir or spruce – the islands’ climate doesn’t give fir and spruce the cold dormancy period they need to grow well, so island farms substitute species suited to a warmer environment. Cypress looks and smells noticeably different from a mainland fir: finer, scale-like foliage instead of long needles, and a lighter scent. If a classic fir silhouette matters to you, know going in that this is a different kind of tree, not a lesser one.
The ranch itself runs Wagyu cattle, aquaculture, and native-plant operations throughout the year, with the Christmas tree sales layered on as a seasonal addition. Customers can walk the field and select their own tree, with a family member on hand to help fell it and load it into the vehicle, or have staff cut it for them. Potted starter trees are also sold for anyone who’d rather replant afterward than deal with disposal in January.
This is the thinnest record in this batch, and for a specific, honest reason: as of this research, the farm’s own website still displayed 2025-season messaging, including a note that the 2025 season had sold out, with reserved pickups due by December 12. No 2026 season dates, hours, or pricing had been posted. That’s not a research failure – it’s simply where the farm’s site stood at the time this was checked, likely reflecting off-season planning before the new year’s details go live. It does mean there’s nothing here to plan a specific trip around yet.
On cost, the farm’s own site gives no dollar figure at all. A third-party roundup estimates roughly $16 per foot, but since that number doesn’t appear anywhere on the farm’s own site, it should be treated as an outside estimate rather than a confirmed price, and no other figure can honestly be offered here.
Hooluana Tree Farm has a genuine, appealing story – a Veteran- and Native Hawaiian-owned family ranch recreating a mainland tradition on the Big Island – but with no confirmed 2026 dates, hours, or pricing published yet, and a track record of selling out before its own season historically ended, this is a call-ahead-and-check-back situation rather than one you can plan around today.
Not stated. The farm's own site had not published 2026 season dates as of this research -- it still showed 2025-season messaging, including a note that the 2025 season was sold out with reserved pickups due by December 12. There's no way to responsibly guess a 2026 window from that; call or check the site closer to the season.
Not stated in the record.
Not stated directly, but the record notes the 2025 season sold out before its own end date, with reserved pickups cut off by December 12 -- a sign that demand can outpace inventory before the season is officially over. Treat that as a reason to plan early once 2026 dates are posted, not as information about specific busy days.
Not described in the record.
Not addressed in the source.
Skip Hooluana Tree Farm for now if you need confirmed 2026 dates, hours, or pricing before committing to a drive, since none of that was published on the farm's own site as of this research, and skip it generally if you specifically want a traditional fir or spruce rather than cypress.
No specific nearby-farm comparison is available in this record.
Not confirmed. As of this research, the farm's own site still displayed 2025-season messaging, including that the 2025 season had sold out, with no 2026 dates, hours, or pricing posted yet.
Not confirmed on the farm's own site. A third-party roundup estimates roughly $16 per foot, but that figure isn't published by the farm itself, so treat it as an estimate only.
You can. The farm's site describes customers walking the field to select and cut their own tree, with a family member on hand to help fell and load it, or you can have staff cut it for you.
The farm's own site describes them generically as cypress; a third-party source specifies Leyland cypress, though that's not confirmed directly by the farm.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. Check with the farm before driving out.
Pricing was not published when we last checked. A third-party roundup (Best Local Things / Outdoor Families Adventures) cites roughly $16/ft average pricing; this figure is not stated anywhere on the farm's own website.
Yes. It's cut-your-own and choose-and-cut (staff cuts it for you).
