Just click on the sign for the info. Our trees are basal pruned, with straight clean trunks. To fight off weeds, grass, mice, and moles we band spray under the trees each year. By limiting the weeds and grass we also limit the cover the mice and moles use and protect the trees from damage. Fertilizer is applied each spring as well but only to Balsam Fir and Fraser Fir.
Fir trees respond well to proper amounts of fertilizer by producing a thick dark green growth.
We shear all species of trees each year which gives them a balanced shape and more dense foliage. When we shear we also use hand clippers to correct crooked tops. We cut our trees with chain saws and bale them the same day. A tight bale helps them retain moisture which in turn keeps them from drying out. We store our our trees close to the ground which keeps them out of the wind and in the shade.
