Our take

Most farms in this directory sell you a tree you cut, take home, and eventually discard after the holiday. Nelson Lee Tree Farm, based on the sources available, does something genuinely different: a live-tree rental. Customers pick out a potted tree, have it delivered to their home for the season, then the farm collects it back afterward. That’s a real point of distinction worth knowing about if a rented, living tree — rather than a cut one — is actually what you’re looking for this year.

Where this information comes from, and its limits

This isn’t something pulled from the farm’s own promotional copy. It’s local Lexington television news coverage describing the concept, because a direct fetch of the farm’s own website returned no readable content during this research. That matters for how much weight to put on the details: the rental concept itself is corroborated by an independent news source, which is a reasonably strong signal that it’s real, but the specifics — how the delivery and pickup actually work, what it costs, and what happens if a rented tree doesn’t survive the season — aren’t spelled out anywhere accessible.

The tree selection is broader than most farms in this batch

Beyond the rental angle, the farm lists an unusually wide spruce lineup: Norway spruce, White spruce, Black Hills spruce, and Colorado blue spruce, plus Canaan fir. Choose-and-cut is listed as an available option alongside the rental service, but whether that means a full standard sale program exists — with its own hours, pricing, and season — isn’t confirmed. It’s possible the farm’s tree operation is built primarily around the rental model, with cut-your-own as a secondary offering, but the record can’t settle that question either way.

What’s genuinely missing

No hours, no season dates, and no pricing for either the rental service or standard sales came up in any source checked. For a business tagged as “New Farm” in the record, that’s not surprising — newer operations often haven’t built out a full public information presence yet — but it does mean this page can’t tell you when to go or what to expect to pay.

The honest verdict

If the live-tree rental idea genuinely appeals to you — maybe you like the idea of a real tree without the disposal hassle afterward, or you want something you can theoretically replant — Nelson Lee is worth a phone call to 859-300-1249 to find out how the program actually works this season. If you just want a standard cut-your-own visit with known hours and prices, several other Woodford County and Bluegrass-region farms in this directory have more documented information to work from.

What to bring

  • A phone call before you go — 859-300-1249 — since hours, season dates, and pricing for either purchase or rental weren't found anywhere in the record
  • Clarity on what you actually want: a tree to keep and cut, or a rental tree the farm delivers and later collects

How to spend less here

  • No pricing at all is documented for purchase or rental, so there's no figure to compare or plan around — this is squarely a call-and-ask situation before you decide if it fits your budget

Who it suits

Good for

  • visitors interested specifically in tree rental rather than buying outright — a potted tree delivered and picked back up after the season
  • people who want several spruce varieties to choose from, since the farm lists Norway, White, Black Hills, and Colorado blue spruce alongside Canaan fir
  • anyone comfortable calling a newer farm directly to sort out the basics before visiting

Skip it if

Skip assuming this is a standard walk-up cut-your-own farm without calling first — the documented specialty here is tree rental, and it's unclear from available sources whether the farm also sells trees outright, or what its hours and season actually are.

Worth pairing with

Located in Woodford County near Versailles, close enough to The Barn at Duckworth Farm and other Versailles-area farms in this directory if you want a more conventional choose-and-cut backup option.
