>>>>>Live Fresh Cut Fraser Fir Christmas Trees<<<<<

I live in an area, NE Pennsylvania, with numerous Christmas tree farms nearby. Most people do not realize the work involved that goes into growing Christmas trees. First the trees need to be planted, second, they need to be trimmed annually and lastly the trees are harvested and then put up for sale. Many of the local tree farms plant a wide variety of trees because of the different rate of growth for each species of tree. Because my family lives close to several of the Christmas tree wholesalers we go every year to choose and cut down our own tree.

When I was growing up my parents had Norwegian pine trees on the far side of the property. Every Christmas season We would cut down one of the Red pines and my dad would try to reshape it before bringing it into the house. The long needles made it difficult to hang ornaments. Since I have been married, my wife and I have tried many different varieties of Christmas trees. Our favorite is the Fraser Fir Christmas tree, the most popular Christmas tree in North America, which is dark green in color. We also like the looks of a blue spruce, but it’s needles are so picky that you have to wear gloves while decorating and putting on the lights. The Fraser Fir Christmas tree has a wonderful fragrance and is soft to the touch. It has short soft needles and sturdy branches so it is easy to hang as many ornaments as you want on it. The Fraser Fir xmas trees also holds their needles very well so there is not the problem of needle shedding that many of the other short needle varieties encounter.

Last year when we went to cut down our tree we were told that a new field had been opened for cutting. This field featured the Fraser Fir tree that we were after, but also had several of the Balsam fir and Douglas fir trees. The Frasier fir trees are suppose to be the most aromatic of all evergreens and does not shed. We tried one a few years ago and liked the looks of the tree and the fragrance; the branches are very strong and point upward. The strong branches can hold the heavier Hallmark Christmas ornaments that we have collected throughout the years. This meant that many of our best ornaments that had the most significant memories were placed in the throughout the branches. We decided that because of this strength we would spend the extra money for a Frasier fir again.

Many of the local tree farms offer a shaker service as well as a bailing service for the trees when they are cut. The tree is placed in a stand on an automatic shaker that helps get rid of the dead needles and other debris that may have collected in the freshly cut tree. The tree is then shoved through a barrel that has netting on the end. The netting is cut the length of the tree and tied on both ends. This allows for easy transport as well as ease in getting the tree in the house. The Christmas tree growers are always looking for ways to make buying your Christmas tree much more enjoyable. We are looking forward to choose our live fresh cut Fraser Fir Christmas tree again this year, usually the second week of December.
