Grading Standards

Jeffers Farms adheres to very rigid standards; we take great pride in the quality of trees that are produced. Our grading standards are as follows:

• Premium
• #1
• #1½
• # 2

Within each of our above grades we have two distinct designations to further define the trees, “wide bodied” and “tightly sheared.”

Below you will find labeled examples of our trees and the two distinct designations. Click images to enlarge.
