 Thought this would be the place to ask.........

Christmas trees aren't exactly maintenance free. A lot of folks around us grow them and they always seem to have crews out mowing and shaping them. Less maintenance than other crops/trees, but still a fair amount of work. The market for taller trees is rather small, probably most that sell are in the 6-7 foot range. Some of the growers around here are selling them as U-Cuts because the money isn't there to have them cut, wrapped and shipped wholesale. I guess they sell a dozen or so a day that way. We have a couple of acres of Noble firs that were planted as a Christmas tree farm long before we bought the property. They're now about 30 feet tall and we sell about one a year to somebody. This year we're selling the greens to Christmas wreath manufacturers for about 10 cents a lb. Should make us $500-1000 bucks. About 10-15 of them are dying each year now. Apparently Nobles send down a deep tap root, and when it reaches saturated soil they drown. As they die out we're replacing them with Douglas Firs and Cedars for timber production.
