THE ALTITUDE STORY: Upper Barron is on the Atherton Tablelands, which the owners say has 'a much cooler climate than our coastal neighbours, which is what allows us to grow the most beautiful Christmas trees right here in North Queensland'. ~10,000 Monterey Pines on 30 acres. Booking NOT required - open tagging without appointment on the last two November weekends. ⚠️ Dates on the site are verifiably the 2025 season's. Also supplies pre-cut to Cairns, Townsville and Mackay collection points - not PYO.
