Christmas Tree Production PFRA Shelterbelt Centre Publications Christmas Tree Production Background Christmas trees are an important holiday tradition in Canada.
Most trees sold in Saskatchewan originate from British Columbia or Washington State.
Many of these trees have been harvested from the wild or are a poorer grade of plantation tree. There is an opportunity for prairie grown trees in this market. Christmas tree production could be a useful income supplement especially from land which otherwise might be idle. A reasonable financial return can be achieved where the emphasis is on quality trees in a quantity which can be handled by the producer. This requires careful management and a commitment of time throughout the production period.
