Our take

Long and Scott Farms in the Zellwood area near Mount Dora is primarily famous for sweet corn, cucumbers, and cabbage — not Christmas trees. That distinction matters enough to state upfront, because it shapes what kind of visit you should actually expect if you’re coming here specifically for a tree.

The tree offering is real, but limited

The farm ships in a couple hundred precut Douglas Fir trees from North Carolina each holiday season as an add-on to its main produce and agritourism business. There’s no on-site growing, no field to walk, and no cutting involved — you’re choosing from a precut selection, full stop. That’s a meaningfully different experience from most other farms in this batch, where at least some portion of the visit involves walking a field and selecting a living tree to cut yourself. If that field-walking experience is the reason you’re looking at tree farms in the first place, this isn’t the right stop.

What makes it worth including anyway

Despite the limited tree offering, this is a genuine, physical working farm — not a parking-lot retail lot set up temporarily for the season. The rest of the property supports a real agritourism operation: a corn maze, a petting zoo, a jumping pillow, a zip line, and a farm market, all built around the farm’s main business growing Zellwood sweet corn and other produce (plus a well-known fall pumpkin patch season). For a family that wants a real working-farm day out — with activities well beyond a tree purchase — and doesn’t mind that the tree itself is precut, this can be a genuinely good stop layered on top of an otherwise worthwhile visit.

Timing and access are loosely documented

No specific 2025 or 2026 tree-season start date was found in any source, only that in at least one past season, tree sales ran seven days a week through December 23. The corn maze, petting zoo, and other attractions are described as running on select days rather than daily, which means the wider farm experience and the tree sales don’t necessarily follow the same schedule — check the farm’s own site for which days apply to which activities before building your visit around a specific date.

What’s not confirmed

No pricing was found for the Douglas Fir trees in any source checked. Given that these are shipped in from North Carolina rather than grown locally, it’s reasonable to expect pricing more in line with other imported-fir options in this dataset than with a Florida-grown, field-cut species — but that’s a general inference about how imported trees tend to be priced, not a number specific to this farm, so ask directly rather than assuming.

The bottom line

Treat Long and Scott Farms as a working produce farm with a Christmas tree afterthought worth visiting for the wider experience, not as a dedicated tree-farm destination. If cutting your own tree is the goal, look elsewhere in this dataset; if a full family farm day with a tree purchase attached sounds right, this is a solid, well-established option.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

No specific 2025 or 2026 season start date was found; tree sales in at least one past season ran through Dec 23, seven days a week. The corn maze, petting zoo, and other attractions run select days only, so if those matter to your visit, check the farm's site for the current schedule before you go.

How long to budget

Not stated for the tree-buying portion specifically, but with a corn maze, petting zoo, jumping pillow, zip line, and farm market on-site, this can easily be a longer family outing built around the wider farm rather than a five-minute tree stop.

Crowds

Not stated in the record, though as a well-known, long-running Zellwood-area agritourism destination, expect meaningful weekend traffic, especially with the corn maze and other attractions layered on top of holiday tree sales.

Parking

Not described in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not addressed in the record.

What to bring

  • Realistic expectations about the tree offering specifically — this is precut-only, a couple hundred Douglas Fir trees shipped in as a holiday add-on to the farm's main produce business, not a field to walk and cut in
  • A plan to check which days the corn maze, petting zoo, and other attractions actually run, since those are described as select-days-only rather than daily

How to spend less here

  • No pricing information was found for the Douglas Fir trees in any source checked, so no dollar figure can be offered — ask directly, and note that as a precut, imported tree, it's reasonable to expect pricing closer to a shipped-in fir elsewhere in this dataset than to a Florida-grown, locally cut species

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families who want a real working-farm day out — petting zoo, jumping pillow, zip line — with a tree purchase attached, rather than a dedicated tree-cutting trip
  • Anyone specifically looking for precut Douglas Fir and not needing a cut-your-own experience

Skip it if

Skip Long and Scott Farms if cutting your own tree is the point of the visit, since this farm sells only precut Douglas Fir shipped in from North Carolina — there is no on-site tree growing or cutting component here at all.

Common questions

Can I cut my own tree at Long and Scott Farms?

No. This farm sells only precut Douglas Fir, shipped in from North Carolina, with no on-site growing or cutting component. If a cut-your-own experience is what you want, this isn't that farm.

Is this really a Christmas tree farm?

Not primarily — it's a well-known, long-running Zellwood-area sweet corn and produce farm, also famous for a fall corn maze and pumpkin patch, that adds precut Christmas trees as a secondary holiday offering. It's included here as a real, physical, visitable farm rather than a parking-lot retail tree lot, but the tree side is genuinely a smaller part of the operation.

What else is there to do?

A corn maze, petting zoo, jumping pillow, zip line, and farm market are all on-site, though these run on select days rather than daily — check the farm's own schedule for which days apply during your visit window.

No pricing was found in any source checked. Ask directly when you visit or call 352-383-6900.
