Elite Balsam

Elite Balsam Logo: Sponsor for The Balsam Fir Forum

“Founded in 1988 by Lloyd MacKinnon. Lloyd had a strong belief that quality Christmas trees and wreaths came before anything.

We continue that tradition and believe every customer should receive the the best balsam products available, regardless of the size of the order. Consistency and quality… nothing less.

After Lloyd’s passing in 2000, his son Scott took over operations. Together with wife Tracey and their two daughters (Scarlett and Alexandra) they continue the traditions that our customers have come to expect. “
