Confirmed to exist as a choose-and-cut farm on the state grower association roster, run by Jerry and Becky Riley inside Springfield city limits, but no independent website, social media, or news coverage was found to say anything about hours, pricing, or tree species.
Roots appears on the Missouri Christmas Tree Producers Association’s membership roster as a choose-and-cut farm run by Jerry and Becky Riley, located inside Springfield’s city limits in Greene County. That roster listing is a real, specific piece of confirmation — it names actual owners and classifies the farm’s format — but it’s also the only source this research could find describing the farm at all.
Springfield has multiple local publications that specifically cover area holiday attractions, including tree farm roundups from 417 Magazine and Macaroni KID, plus general community listings from springfieldmo.org. None of the pages reviewed for this research mentioned Roots by name. That doesn’t prove the farm is closed or has stopped welcoming visitors — plenty of small operations get by without media coverage or a web presence — but it is a genuine gap worth being upfront about, especially compared with several other Springfield-region farms that do turn up in those same local roundups.
If you’re specifically interested in a choose-and-cut farm inside Springfield’s city limits rather than a drive out into the surrounding countryside, Roots is worth a phone call. But treat that call as a prerequisite, not a formality — you’ll want to confirm the farm is actually open to public visitors this season, what it charges, what species it grows, and what hours it keeps, since none of that shows up anywhere else in this research.
If you can’t reach anyone at Roots or don’t get clear answers, the Southwest Missouri/Ozarks region covered in this directory includes better-documented alternatives, including Rocky Ridge Tree Farm near Flemington and Hollie Jolly Tree Farm near Highlandville, both of which have independently confirmed details about hours, pricing, or recent operating history that this listing simply doesn’t have.
There’s no reason to doubt that Roots is a real farm — the roster entry is specific and current-looking — but there’s also not enough here to plan a visit around without picking up the phone first.

Skip Roots unless you've called the farm directly and confirmed it's currently open to the public, what it charges, and what tree species it grows, since none of that was found in any source reviewed for this research.
