Each tree is carefully looked after and maintained. They offer a selection of balsam fir, Fraser fir and soon, cook firs, as well as related products like stands and wreaths in different sizes.

Once the trees are delivered, it is necessary to store them in a safe location, sheltered from the sun and bad weather.

The 3 Planters have built solid relationships with their business partners and customers because they are reliable and deliver on schedule and according to established terms.The delivery time is confirmed 3 days in advance and they always arrive promptly – within 15 minutes of the designated time.
