A Year at Daniken Tree Farm New Christmas Trees arrive at Daniken Tree Farm in early April in the form of seedlings.
Seedlings are baby trees that look a lot like small sticks with roots.
They don't look like much as a tree-planting machine plants them, but with proper care they quickly take root to begin their journey to become full size Christmas Trees. After all the new trees have been planted, a thin wood stake is placed next to each tree to assist it in straight growth. Each tree is tied to its respective stake to keep the wind and rain from blowing the tree around and causing it to grow crooked. This really pays off when you get your tree home and put it up in your stand. As spring warms to summer, the trees begin to make their yearly growth.
