Our take

TnT keeps things simple: a choose-and-cut farm in northeast Knoxville offering just two species, Leyland cypress and white pine, rather than the wider lineups some farms in this research advertise. If you know you want one of those two trees, that simplicity means a quicker decision and likely a quicker visit than a farm with seven varieties to weigh.

The card fee is the detail worth knowing before you go

Most farms in this research don’t mention payment processing at all, which makes TnT’s specific, stated $5 card processing fee stand out. Run the math: on a $60 tree, paying by card effectively costs $65; the same tree paid in cash or check stays at $60. That’s a real, guaranteed $5 difference, not a hypothetical one, and it’s worth having cash or a checkbook on hand simply to avoid it. American Express isn’t accepted under any circumstances, card fee or not, so if that’s your only card, bring a backup.

What a tree actually costs

The 2025-season average tree price ran $60-80 — a genuine, if fairly wide, range rather than a single flat number. That range likely reflects size and fullness differences within the two available species rather than a species-based price split, though the record doesn’t break it down further. 2026 pricing wasn’t confirmed in the sources reviewed, so use this as a starting budget expectation rather than a locked-in figure.

Hours are uneven across the week

Thursday and Friday hours run just 12pm to 5:30pm, a shorter afternoon-only window, while Saturday opens earlier at 10am and Sunday runs 1pm to 5pm. If you want the most flexibility to browse and cut a tree without rushing, Saturday is the longest single-day window on record here.

What’s on-site beyond the trees

Free hot chocolate and hot apple cider are offered, along with a Christmas-icon scavenger hunt — a modest activity list, but a real one, and enough to keep kids occupied while adults look over the trees.

The honest bottom line

TnT is a straightforward, no-frills choose-and-cut option with real pricing and a genuinely useful payment detail on record. No 2026 season opening or closing date was found, so while the weekly hours pattern above is a solid guide once the season starts, confirm that the season itself is running before you plan a specific trip around it.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

No season dates were found for 2026, but hours run shorter on weekdays (Thursday and Friday afternoons only) than on weekends, so a Saturday visit (10am-5:30pm) gives you the widest window to shop and cut a tree.

How long to budget

30-45 minutes for a straightforward choose-and-cut visit between just two species.

Crowds

Not documented with numbers, but noticeably shorter weekday hours (Thu-Fri afternoons only) compared to a full Saturday suggest weekday visits may be quieter, while Saturday likely draws the bulk of weekly traffic.

Parking

Not specified in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

What to bring

  • Cash or a check if you want to avoid the $5 card processing fee
  • A different card if you carry American Express — it isn't accepted here at all
  • Kids ready for a Christmas-icon scavenger hunt, offered free on the property

How to spend less here

  • Average tree price ran $60-80 in the 2025 season — a real, if broad, range to budget against, though 2026 pricing wasn't confirmed.
  • Paying by any card besides Amex adds a flat $5 processing fee on top of the tree price; cash or check avoids that charge entirely, a guaranteed $5 saved on the same tree.

Who it suits

Good for

  • visitors who want a quick, simple choice between Leyland cypress and white pine without a long species decision
  • anyone planning to pay cash or check, since that avoids the card surcharge entirely
  • families who want a free Christmas-icon scavenger hunt built into the visit

Skip it if

Skip paying by American Express here specifically — it isn't accepted at all, and any other card carries a $5 processing fee that cash or check avoids.
