Hello from the Weir Family! We hope everyone has had a great start to 2026. In June of 2025, the landscape of Weir Tree Farms and our family was forever changed with the passing of Jay's father, William Weir Sr. We miss him every day and things don't feel quite the same here at the farm. However, we keep moving forward and honor his life and legacy by being good stewards of the land he so loved and producing the highest quality trees and transplants that we can. If anyone really knew Bill, you would know that he was a true farmer and it was never about making money, but all about having pride in the work you do and the product you produce.

Our Christmas season and our spring nursery season both went well. We continue to sell out early of both cut Christmas trees and transplant stock. We give preference to our returning customers, but we do keep an extensive waiting list for both seasons. Our harvest this Fall should be larger than it has been for the past several years. Once Jay is done grading the trees in September, there very well may be trees not spoken for and we will finally be able to take on new customers. We are anticipating that our transplant and seedling inventory will be sold out early for Spring 2027, therefore we encourage our customers to not wait on putting in your orders. The Korean x Balsam transplants are becoming more and more popular and inventory is becoming tight wih them. They grow well in all types of soil, too much rain or too little rain does not bother them as much as it does other species, and they are a beautiful and special tree on the end. They do require a little different approach in terms of shearing and fertilization, but after much experimentation Jay feels like he has a good handle on what is optimal for them. He is always willing to share this knowledge with anyone that is interested. We had a 9 foot Korean x Balsam as our Christmas tree this past season and I could not have been happier with it!
Last July, our family drove to Michigan to attend the National Christmas Tree Meeting that was hosted by Dutchmen Farms and Northern Pines Nursery. What an amazing time and experience! We learned so much and it is always great to see and talk to other members of the industry. If you are a part of the Christmas tree or nursery business, we highly recommend that you join NCTA and try to attend their programs - you will not regret it! With all that being said, we will be hosting the summer meeting for the NH/VT Christmas Tree Association on June 27th. We have a lot of work to do to get the farm in shape for the meeting, but we look forward to the challenge. The meeting will be very informative and we are excited to share with everyone what we have been working on and developing here at the farm. For more information click on this link.
Our boys, Jackson and Cooper, continue to make us proud. Jackson finished his freshman year of college at SUNY Cobleskill where he is studying Horticulture and Plant Science. He earned a 4.0 GPA in both semesters. He loves what he is studying and has been immersed in a hands on education. Jackson also joined the Woodsmen team and he was able to compete in timber sports meets all over New York. A very new experience that he thoroughly enjoyed. He is home for the summer and already back to work at the farm. Cooper is completing his sophomore year of high school and is looking forward to becoming a junior. He has had a standout year as an athlete in three different sports. He was also very excited to get his driver's license and through a lot of hard work he was able to purchase his first vehicle. Cooper is mechanically inclined and interested in all things to do with equipment and automotives which is a great skill to have on a farm. We love seeing where life is taking our boys! As always feel free to e-mail, call or visit! Have a great summer!
