Luray Farm Donating Trees for Troops

The National Christmas Tree Association said more than 26 million Americans bought pre-cut Christmas trees previous year.

She said in order to keep the farm going she and her husband plant anywhere between 2,500 to 5,000 trees a year.

Nick Wiggins, owner of Plantation Pines, says it typically takes about four to five years to grow a Christmas tree, depending on the weather.

If you need a Christmas tree for your home in the Wirral, then you should head to Claremont Farm. With so much rain forecasted for the next few days, they suggest picking out a tree while it’s still dry.

“It’s an experience. That’s what we try to sell”, Miller said.

Kay prefers the real thing and he recommends waiting about 2 to 3 weeks before Chirstmas to get one. “We will have precut trees (Fraser fir and balsam fir) and people can get a sled and saw and go out and cut down one on their own”. “So we’re actually recycling them”. Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey says tree farms make good use of land that might not be suitable for raising other crops.

Jan Pacovsky says the growing season that help the state’s two main crops of soybeans and corn was also kind to tree growers. Many artificial trees on the market are “quick-set” models, so they are easy to assemble. “We come down and we see the tree lighting and we listen to the Christmas music and I’m hoping it will become part of their holiday traditions”, said Colleen Moore.

This year, on Black Friday, it was anything, but as families trekked across hillsides marked by green grass and evergreen trees.

Sons Conners and Kaden picked out this year’s tree.

He said that in his 30 years of selling Christmas trees in the Birmingham area, he has learned that it is important to avoid selling trees too early in the season.

Adam Kalanquin has been an employee at Mountain View for years and hopes to one day run the farm.

“It’s a tradition for our house”, Thornton said as the family trekked through rows of trees varying in species, shape and size.

The couple has been buying their trees from Santa’s Trees for about seven years.
