Have you been out to Z’s yet to get your Christmas tree? We have!
Actually, this is only my second real Christmas tree ever and the first time I’ve ever gone to cut one. We went out on Saturday morning in the cold and snow. For newbies, Z’s was a great choice. They were friendly and told us how it’d work. We then hoped on a wagon to go out and find a tree.
Now I wasn’t to sure about cutting my own, but the saws they provided cut through that tree like a hot knife though butter. They then put it on the wagon and back to the main farm.
We were also a bit concerned about fitting it in my little Ford Focus. However, they hauled it to my car and put it in and bungeed down my trunk. They did all the work for us and we were quite impressed.
Trees are $40 for long needle, $60 for short. I don’t know how that compares as I’ve never been out to cut my own tree before, but it was the experience we paid for. And a good experience at that.
Z’s Trees also has precut Christmas trees, wreaths & roping, landscape evergreens, fireplace wood and custom log sawing.
Z’s Trees is technically in Cologne but it’s really just outside Waconia on 284. Between Highway 5 and 212.

Went to Z’s to pick up firewood for my parents. Thought the quality & price would be better outside of the cities.
Spoke with the owner, John, about getting some firewood. He wanted to load it with his Bobcat. I told him I was fine with loading myself by hand. Apparently I was supposed to be directing him operating the Bobcat. He broke the rear light on my truck. When he stopped the Bobcat and I pointed out the break to him, I was told “You were directing me, that’s your problem. You can go pay for the wood inside.”
I received the estimate for the repair, and called John to ask him what I should do about it. And again, “that’s your problem”.
When I am in my customer’s home, or if I build them something, and I cause damage to their home or property – that becomes MY problem.
Z’s Tree’s was paid their $75.00 for the firewood.
I have a $275.00 repair bill for the trip out there.
America, where has the integrity gone?
