Chriatnuu Tree —A
Likely 4-H Project
The Christmas tree
business can be a good 4-H
project as well as a lear-
ning experience.
Such a business could in-
volve buying and selling
trees for holiday season or
actually growing the trees.
Either activity could be a
club or individual member
project.
Christmas tree produc-
tion began in eastern parts
of Texas in the early 70s
and has extended into cen-
tral and western areas in
Wishing you a bright and
happy holiday season and a
beautiful new year. We've
enjoyed serving you and look
forward to seeing you soon...

'I?-
recent years. Extension
Service foresters can
provide names of growers
in the area who can help
the individual planning to
develop his own Christmas
tree farm. He can also
provide information on
sources of seedlings, selec-
tion and growing and har-
vesting methods.
Local supply and
demand will affect the
precise sale price of trees.
Teaming up with an
established seller of trees
allows the producer to tap
into existing market con-
tacts. Otherwise, the young
producer must plan not
only production but also
retailing his product.
Good trees are essential
in a competitive market
and result from care,
protection and proper
timing.
Reading about Christ-
mas trees and visiting ac-
tual producing areas is im-
portant to successful plan-
ning. A visit with a suc-
cessful producer, county
Extension agent or other
knowledgeable person is a
good first step.
Growing trees is not the
only way to get into the
Christmas tree business.
Growers may employ
teenagers to shear trees
and to carry out other
cultural practices on
Christmas tree plantations
as well as aid in Christmas
tree harvesting.
Working for an
established grower can
give an eager learner good
insight into the Christmas
tree business. As an alter-
native, an entire 4-H club
could work with a leader
who has contact with a
Christmas tree producer.
The producer may lease
land to the 4-H club or ser-
ve as a technical expert to
the club project.
Season's greetings to
Cherokee County 4-H
Families.
