A Christmas tree farm composed of planting of specific tree species that are cultured under an intensive management plan for the production of high-quality Christmas trees.
Intensive management involves three major phases.
Weed control is critical during the first two years in order to remove competition for available moisture, nutrients and sunlight. Insect and disease control is standard practice throughout the rotation and is accomplished through timely spray programs to prevent the deformity of trees. Proper tree shaping techniques must be conducted beginning during the second year. There are approximately 53 Christmas tree farms in Oklahoma. Your tree spacing is determined by the width of your mowing and spraying equipment.
