Become a CCTGA Member

2025 Membership Fee is $75.00 – Associate Member Fee is $45.

An Associate Member of the Connecticut Christmas Tree Growers Association (CCTGA) is an individual or business affiliated with a main, primary member. Associate membership can include additional family members or employees of the primary member and is available at a reduced rate of 60% of the regular membership cost. However, Associate Members do not possess voting rights within the association. While they can receive benefits and participate in association activities, they are not eligible to the rights and responsibilities of Article II under section 2 of the constitution.

Membership is open to persons and firms who grow or market trees and anyone else interested in promoting the natural Christmas tree industry and allied products in the state or adjacent area.

A newsletter is published three (3) times a year with timely information about the growing and marketing of Christmas trees.

An annual meeting, held in March, twilight meetings, informal Zoom gatherings, and a fall/summer field meeting provide opportunities for members to meet and exchange ideas and witness demonstrations of equipment and techniques useful in growing Christmas trees. 

Topics covered at meetings and in newsletters include species selection, planting methods, fertilization, shearing, marketing, needle retention, weed and pest control, tax matters, insurance, and showing trees in competition.

We invite you to join us in helping to promote the production and marketing of top quality Christmas trees.
