Brent’s Christmas Trees

Specialties

We are your local east bay family business dedicated to growing the best Christmas trees in Northern CA. We have been continuously located in the Oakland/​East Bay area since 1958 which makes us the longest running small business dedicated to Christmas tree sales around. Generally our tree lots open around November 23 and remain open through Christmas Eve. Our lots are located in Oakland at Grand Ave and Lakeshore near the Grand Lake Theatre; across from the Oakland Airport on Doolittle Drive at the corner of Swan Way; 1201 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley. We cut our trees fresh every 7 to 8 days beginning the week of Thanksgiving. Our last cut is around Dec. 12 – 14. We are known for providing the largest variety and freshest, high-​quality trees. Our varieties include Noble Fir, Silver Tip, Douglas Fir, Scotch Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Cedar, Sequoyah, Grand Fir. We also have wreathes, mistletoe and garland. And yes, custom flocking, fire-​retarding and delivery are available for extra cost. We service commercial businesses and residential clients with excellence. Many of our trees are delivered locally to businesses and churches throughout the east bay. Weekend shopping can be crowded, so shopping during the week is less crowded. Our lot by the Oakland Airport is our depot, a little larger then our other lots and has excellent free parking. Just take the Hegenberger exit, head toward the airport and turn right on Doolittle. We are at the corner of Doolittle and Swan Way.

History

Established in 1958.

Brent began cutting and selling Christmas trees with his father-​in-​law in the mid 1950’s. In 1958 he went into the business along with his wife in the east bay and the business continues today with his son. This is truly a locally family owned business and not a corporate enterprise. Brent continues to live in Oakland with his family and raise trees in Northern CA. Brent enjoys living locally and promoting local businesses associated with his business. Brent plants 3000 to 3500 seedlings per year on his farm and in the Sierra Mountain range. Brent plants about 50% more than he cuts each year. Christmas trees are a sustainable product which help the environment and promote family spirit for the holidays.
