WESH 2 NEWS: Josarios Fresh Cut Christmas Trees Celebrates 30 Years in Orlando; Purchases Aid NC Tree Farmers

Buy Fresh Cut Christmas Trees from North Carolina to Help Recovery Efforts for Struggling Flood Victims

Josario’s Fresh Cut Christmas Trees Sales Boost Economy of North Carolina Communities Still Struggling to Recover from Recent Flooding

For three decades, Josarios Fresh Cut Christmas Trees has been Central Florida’s trusted source for premium Fraser Fir Christmas trees, and this year their mission extends beyond spreading holiday cheer. Helping North Carolina tree farmers recover from Hurricane Helen’s impact by choosing a fresh-cut Christmas tree becomes an act of community support.

A Legacy of Quality and Community

Located at 50 E. Michigan Street in downtown Orlando and 8010 Red Bug Lake Road in Oviedo, Josarios Fresh Cut Christmas Trees continues its 30-year tradition of providing high-quality Fraser Firs to Central Florida families. Owner Jose Rivas takes pride in sourcing trees from family-owned farms in West Jefferson, North Carolina, ensuring customers receive the freshest, most luxuriant trees possible.

“It supports the American farmers, those farmers in North Carolina who are going through a hard time right now,” Rivas told WESH 2 News. Despite Hurricane Helen’s devastation in Western North Carolina this September, Josarios maintains a full inventory of premium trees without increasing prices. “After COVID we had a little jump, but this year it’s been stable,” Rivas said.

Innovation Meets Tradition

This year, Josarios introduces convenient online shopping options for busy families. Customers can now order trees, stands, and delivery services from the comfort of their homes. The company offers unique customization options, including flocked and white-painted trees that bring a touch of winter wonderland to Florida homes.

“You can order the tree stand, we’ll deliver it, we’ll put on your tree stand—you can sit back, have your eggnog and enjoy the Christmas season,” Rivas said, emphasizing their commitment to hassle-free holiday preparations.

Supporting North Carolina’s Recovery

Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler emphasizes the importance of supporting North Carolina’s Christmas tree industry during this challenging time. “We know that some N.C. tree farms lost trees and suffered damage to roads and other infrastructure, but they do have trees,” Troxler said. “Farmers have started harvesting and will be working hard to bring in this year’s crop.”

Jennifer Greene, executive director of the North Carolina Christmas Tree Association, encourages consumers to choose real Christmas trees, particularly North Carolina Fraser firs, to support the industry’s recovery efforts.

Building Lasting Relationships

The impact of Josarios Christmas Trees extends beyond seasonal sales. “I’ve had families that have been buying Christmas trees since they were in kindergarten. Today, they’re waiting for their children to come back from college,” shares Rivas. Long-time customer Larry Medo, who has shopped at Josarios for three decades, exemplifies this loyalty. “Christmas tree buying has a direct correlation to grandkids,” he says, “and so the grandkids will be with us this year, so it’s time to get a tree.”
