Front Porch Christmas Trees | Large Evergreen Sapling
Front porch Christmas trees have a way of making a home feel ready for the season. A Little Saps large sapling takes that familiar holiday tradition and gives it somewhere to go afterward. Standing 24–30 inches tall and arriving pre-potted in a white planter, it can be enjoyed outside through Christmas and then planted to grow for years to come.
This is our largest sapling and a good choice when you want to give someone a gift that feels significant without being something they’ll only enjoy for a few weeks.
It can mark a new home, a milestone, an important anniversary, or simply a person who means a great deal to you.
A Christmas Gift That Becomes Part of Home
For the holidays, it can stand by the front door, welcome guests, and bring a little life to the season. Afterward, it can be planted and watched as it grows.
For families who enjoy traditions, a large Little Sap can become part of one. The tree you give this Christmas may still be there years from now, a living reminder of the people and moments that mattered.
An Outdoor Tree, Through and Through
You can enjoy them inside for a short time, maybe 3-7 days, but they need to spend a majority of their time outside. That’s why this outdoor Christmas tree for the porch is meant to live outside, where fresh air, sunlight, and cool weather help keep it healthy.
Place it on the porch or patio for the season. When the holidays are over, plant it when the time is right.
When a Bigger Gesture Feels Right
The large sapling is especially fitting when you’re giving to someone close to you or marking something important.
Think:
A new home
A major anniversary
A significant family milestone
Someone who has meant a great deal to you
A family beginning a new holiday tradition
Your own home, if you want holiday decor that will keep growing
A pair of Christmas porch trees can also frame a front door beautifully during the season and later become two permanent trees in the yard.
How It Works
All you need to do is write your personal message for the keepsake card. Our team selects an evergreen suited to the recipient’s growing region, carefully packages the tree, and ships it directly to their door.
We currently ship within the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Orders usually arrive within 2–5 business days, depending on the destination. The final date to order trees before Christmas is Monday, December 21, 2026.
Every tree includes planting and care instructions and is backed by the Little Saps Promise. If your tree is not doing well within 30 days and our team cannot help, we will send you a new one.
What’s Included with Your Holiday Gift Tree
Every Little Saps Large Holiday Sapling includes:
A live evergreen tree selected for the recipient’s growing region
Pre-potted in a white planter finished with a festive red bow
A “Merry & Bright” holiday gift tag
A keepsake card featuring your personal message
Tree variety information and care instructions
Your gift tree is carefully packaged in our Little Saps boxes to help ensure it arrives healthy, protected, and ready for its new home.
Tree Variety
Little Saps are living evergreen trees selected to grow outdoors. Because different tree varieties thrive in different climates, our tree experts choose a variety suited to the recipient’s growing region. This gives each Little Sap the best opportunity to grow and thrive in its new home.
Learn more about the tree varieties we offer on our tree types page.
Shipping & Delivery
We currently ship within the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Due to agricultural restrictions, we are unable to ship to Canada or international addresses.
Because your holiday tree is a living gift, we carefully package each order for shipping. If you have questions about delivery timing or are trying to have your tree arrive near a specific date, add a note at checkout and we’ll do our best to time your shipment accordingly.
Holiday Gift Tag & Keepsake Card
Every Holiday Gift Tree includes a gift tag that says “Merry & Bright” and a keepsake card. After you click Add to Cart, you will be prompted to write a personal message for the keepsake card included with the tree.
Keep it simple with “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays,” add a heartfelt note of gratitude, or share your wishes for the year ahead.
Tree Planting Basics for the Recipient
Little Saps are evergreen trees and need to live primarily outdoors. Your tree arrives already planted in a container with our Little Saps soil and mulch blend, so there’s no need to repot it right away.
Place it outdoors on a porch, patio, balcony, or other location where it can receive fresh air, sunlight, water, and natural seasonal changes. With proper care, it can remain in its container until it outgrows the pot. At that point, it can be moved to a larger outdoor container or planted in the landscape.
Caring for a Holiday Tree as It Grows
A living holiday tree is meant to be enjoyed long after the season ends. Some evergreens naturally bronze during winter before returning to bright green in spring. Soil should be kept moist but not soggy, and young trees may need additional protection during extreme weather.
As the tree grows, it will eventually need a larger planter or a permanent home in the landscape. Care instructions are included with every Little Sap so the recipient can feel confident caring for their tree through the seasons.
