Can you believe that the Christmas season is just around the corner? Us either, however we are getting very excited about this year’s season. The workers have already been in the field getting the trees ready for our wholesale & choose-n-cut season.
To assure our customers in the wholesale & choose-n-cut the best quailty & prefect shape we shear our trees this time of year. Shearing is done to regulate and direct the growth of individual trees. The object is to develp a symmetrical shape and to increase foliage density, which results in a fuller tree with uniform foliage.
There are several types of tools we use to shear our Fraser Fir Christmas trees. These include hand clippers and shearing knives. We keep our equipment in tip top shape to protect the quality of our trees and our staff. It is quite interesting to watch the staff in the fields at work shearing. They take their time and are very precise. You never want to sneak up on them since they have sharp objects in hand:)
We do this each fall to ensure that you as our customers and family have the prefect tree. We are always available at the farm if you would like to come by and see these process for yourself.
