A Family Story, A Montreal Tradition

For more than 55 years, the Bono family has been part of one of Montreal's most cherished holiday traditions: choosing the Christmas tree.

Our Story

It All Began with Michel Bono

At Jean-Talon Market, Michel Bono helped build a tradition that would span generations.

What began as a passion for Christmas trees grew into a family story, passed down to his sons with the same guiding belief: offer beautiful trees and take good care of the people who come to choose them.

Today, that legacy lives on through Sapin Chez Michel.

The Next Generation

Three Brothers, One Shared Passion

Today, Luigi, Antonino and Giancarlo carry on the family tradition, each bringing his own personality, energy and experience.

Times change and our business evolves, but some things remain the same: our connection to Jean-Talon Market, our love of Christmas trees and the joy of welcoming familiar faces every year.

To us, Sapin Chez Michel is much more than a seasonal business. It's a story we continue to write together.

Our Quebec Roots

Christmas Trees Grown Right Here in Quebec

Behind every Christmas tree are years of growth, hard work and careful attention.

All our Christmas trees are grown in Quebec, including in the Estrie region. Our family is directly involved in their cultivation and carefully selects trees for their freshness, beauty and quality.

From the field to your living room, we believe a beautiful Christmas tree begins with the care it receives long before the holiday season.

The Bono Family

A Family Behind Every Christmas Tree

Behind our market stand, online store and delivery service is, first and foremost, a family united by the same passion.
