Attract birds by placing orange slices, suet and seed on the tree. The birds will come for the food and stay for the shelter in the branches. It not only makes cutting, baling, and hauling more difficult, but it becomes impossible to pick out the marketable trees. This is another reason why we identify and flag our trees in August and September.
P icking up trees is never an easy job and at times it becomes extremely difficult.
On a rather frigid November day, Ken and Raymond are digging trees from under eight inches of frozen heavy snow, while supervised by Sheba, the family dog. A s soon as our trees are cut and baled, they are trucked to this storage yard where they will stay until they are shipped. Our yard is situated in an area that offers shade and protection from the wind to maintain the freshness of the tree. We also stack the trees with the tops locked together to keep the sun and wind away from them. W e hope you have enjoyed your trip through our Christmas tree plantation.
