A nursery business offering 'you choose, we cut' trees plus the option of a living, plantable tree instead of a cut one - but with only three days a week open, including a narrow two-hour Friday window, and no season dates published anywhere.
Lupton Nurseries operates as part of an established nursery business rather than as a dedicated seasonal tree lot, and that shows in how it structures the tree-buying experience: this is explicitly “you choose and we cut,” not a bring-your-own-saw operation. If the physical act of cutting the tree isn’t the part of the experience you’re after, and you’d rather just point at a tree and let staff handle the rest, that’s exactly what’s offered here.
One detail sets this farm apart from most others in this research: living, balled Christmas trees are available alongside cut trees, meaning you could choose a tree that can be planted in your yard after the holidays instead of discarded. That’s a meaningfully different product from a standard cut tree, and worth considering if you have a spot to plant one and like the idea of your Christmas tree outliving the season.
Access is limited to three days a week: Friday 3pm-5pm, and Saturday-Sunday 9am-5pm. The Friday window in particular is easy to misjudge - it’s not an evening option in the way “Friday hours” might suggest, just a narrow two-hour slot. If you’re planning around a weekday visit generally, Friday afternoon into early evening is your only shot before the weekend.
A “you choose, we cut” model removes some of the physical work a true cut-your-own visit involves - no hauling a saw across a field, no kneeling in the dirt to make the cut yourself - which can matter if you’re visiting with small kids, older family members, or simply don’t want the workout. The trade-off is that you lose the hands-on part some people specifically enjoy about a tree farm trip. Neither approach is better across the board; it depends on what you’re actually looking for out of the visit.
If you’re seriously considering the living, balled tree, it’s worth thinking through in advance where it will actually go once the holidays end - a live tree needs a real planting spot and reasonable timing relative to ground conditions, considerations that don’t apply to a cut tree you’ll dispose of afterward. Since pricing for the living-tree option isn’t documented here, ask about that difference directly when you visit, alongside the planting logistics.
No dedicated website was found for this business during research; what’s available comes from directory listings, review sites, and Facebook group posts that reference “Lupton Nursery & Christmas Tree Farm” in the Upper Deerfield Township/Bridgeton area. That’s a weaker information base than a farm with its own actively maintained site, which is part of why no season dates, pricing, or species list could be confirmed here.
Because this operates within a broader nursery business, it’s reasonable to assume some baseline of established, ongoing operation even without a dedicated tree-season website. Still, with no confirmed season window and no pricing anywhere in the record, a phone call before visiting is the only way to know whether the tree program is currently running, what it costs, and whether living trees are in stock alongside cut ones this particular year.

A quick visit, since staff do the cutting for you rather than you cutting your own tree.
Not documented. No basis for an estimate.
Not documented.
Not documented.
Skip if you're hoping to cut your own tree, since the farm's description is explicitly 'you choose and we cut,' or if a Friday-evening-only slot doesn't work for your schedule, since Friday hours are just 3-5pm.
None documented in this record.
No. The business describes itself as 'you choose and we cut,' meaning staff do the cutting after you pick the tree.
Yes, living (balled, plantable) Christmas trees are offered as an option, which is less common among the farms in this research.
