Christmas tree farming

Christmas tree farming involves growing trees like fir, pine, or spruce specifically for holiday use. Farmers plant seedlings and care for them over several years, providing proper nutrition, weeding, and pest control to ensure healthy growth. Typically taking 7-10 years to mature, the trees are periodically shaped and maintained to achieve the desired shape and fullness. When ready, farmers harvest the trees, often selecting the most attractive specimens. This sustainable practice allows for repeated harvests annually, supporting local economies and providing families with authentic, farm-grown Christmas trees.
