Murray Cypress

Newly available at Lovell Tree Farm this year will be a new tree, Which many growers think is the ideal Georgia Christmas tree. This tree is known as the Murray Cypress.  This tree was discovered by Bill Murray, a retired forester, while taking cuttings for his nursery. Murray, who was instrumental in the formation of the Georgia Christmas Tree Association and the Christmas Tree industry in Georgia more than 50 years ago, noted that this tree has desirable qualities beyond other varieties in that it is a darker green and has stronger limbs for holding ornaments.
