Over
fourty years ago my father, just out
of a tour of duty with the Navy, was
living in Washington, D.C, and looking
for any opportunity of work. He
soon made the acquaintance of a Christmas
tree grower in his hometown of Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania, and quickly saw just the
opportunity. The following December
became the first of more than 40 years
of providing the Washington, D.C. area
with fresh, quality Christmas trees.
North
Star Christmas Trees has since become
the largest independent Christmas tree
retailer and wholesaler in the Washington,
D.C. area by supplying the public and
many profit and non-profit organizations
with high value Christmas trees, wreaths,
and other decorative greenery. Through
10 locations in the Washington, D.C area,
including all local military bases, our
goal is to offer fresh, high quality
trees that we specially select from North
Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nova Scotia,
and Pennsylvania.
North
Star is still a family run business
of local Washingtonians. Hugh and his mother Faith Rodell continue to operate under the belief that
Christmas is about family and traditions.
