Q: Is Christmas Tree farming profitable?
Is christmas tree farming profitable in this time of fake tree buying or is better as a hobbie ?

A: Yes it can be profitable, however it is allot of work, and you have to buy the trees to get started. I thought of starting a Christmas Tree farm when I first moved to my 17 acres near Cheney Wa. So I did some research and actually sent emails to other Christmas Tree farms I found online. You have to consider many things, and in fact you should consider doing a business plan on any type of business you're interested in starting. You'll need to find a place that sells the seedlings. You'll need to grow them for about 2 to 5 years before you start selling them. You have to protect them, prune them, stake them and bundle them up before a heavy snow, and water them on the hot summer days. You need to buy some from another farm to sell while you're growing your trees. You have to purchase items like hand saws, frost machine, wrapping system (which i understand you can build out of a 55 gallon drum), and build a stand where people will pay you. You will need to preserve some trees so that they grow taller since you're paid by the foot. Something else to consider is having a full time job the rest of the year until you're able to sell your crop. Don't forget the rein deer, and petting zoo. Got to keep the kids interested while mom and dad are choosing a tree. Besides, you'll make allot of money just selling a handful of feed for 50 cents, which you poured into a paper bag the previous night. Can you sit there filling 100 bags of feed? Wha'ts that, like $50 for a $10 bag of feed? Not bad. Of course that feed money is going to go into your advertising in the newspapers, and don't forget your web site. If you build it, they won't come unless you can get it in the search engines. But you've got a few years to do that. That's about all I remember from the top of my head. Good luck, and yes it can be profitable! Anything is if you're willing to work at it.

Q: When do you set up your live Christmas Tree?
The weekend after Thanksgiving is when Christmas tree lots and Christmas tree farms usually first open for business. This is the best time to buy a live Christmas tree if you want a wide selection. This is some info that I found, do people just buy their Christmas Tree around this time and wait a few weeks to set it up and decorate it? I'm just worried that the tree will dry out if we set it up to early. I will make sure it has plenty of water and that the lights aren't on unattended.

A: If you make sure the tree has plenty of water it should be fine. My sister always buys hers the day they go on sale and it always lasts. Just make sure it has plenty of water.

Q: spiritually speaking, would you rather live in a pumpkin patch or a christmas tree farm?
my spirit belongs in a pumpkin patch. i'm just curious which holiday is more appealing.

A: Christmas trees are prickly and I don't really care for the smell of pine or evergreen. Pumpkins are way more to my liking. The Thanksgiving season if much more enjoyable for everyone than Christmas anyway. Anyone can celebrate Thanksgiving.

Q: When should I go to "cut my own Christmas tree"?
I've never done the "cut your own tree" thing before, but would like to start a new Christmas tradition for my wife and me as we celebrate our first Christmas. A nearby Christmas tree farm opens on November 28 and remains open until the quota for the season has been cut. So, when should I go to cut the tree? I want to go soon enough to ensure I get a good tree, but I don't want to go too early, since I don't want to be opening presents under a dried out fire hazard either. Thanks in advance for your answers.

A: My husband has been cutting down our own Christmas tree for years. Here are some tips and tricks we have learned over the years and if you follow these tips and cut it properly, it can last close to 5 weeks before drying out: 1. Keep your tree away from any heat source including TV's, stereos, and air ducts. Sometimes people forget that those appliances let off heat and you don't want to dry it out any sooner than necessary. 2. Make sure you measure the height of the ceiling so you don't do what we did the first year and chop down a tree too tall for your home. 3. Make sure you bring a camera so you can record the event. 4. Keep the tree in water and check the water level every day. A good rule of thumb is one quart of water to every inch diameter of the tree trunk. 5. Use miniature lights because they produce less heat. 6. Turn off the lights on the tree at night when you go to bed and anytime you leave your home, to be on the safe side. 7. Also make sure that you get your tree into water right away. The base of the tree can sap over within 4-6 hours and if that happens, no water will get to the tree. If it does sap over, just cut a 1/2 inch off the base again. I hope this helps you out...

Q: Where near Newmarket can you find a christmas tree farm? ?

Q: Do you still buy a real Christmas tree each year? How much does it cost where you live?
I pay $25-$30 each year for one. I live in a part of Canada with lots of trees and plenty of Christmas tree farms. I always buy one from a place that donates the money to charity.

A: Hey, I'm in Canada too. We go to a nice you pick place every year.40 bucks!!!! But I live in Alberta where there aren't many trees . Maybe that's why they're so pricey ....

Q: Why Doesn't My Christmas Tree Smell?
We cut it down ourselves at a christmas tree farm so it's fresh. I think it's a pine or spruce. It's the kind of tree you see all over the place as Christmas trees. Anyway, why doesn't it smell? can i do something to make it smell more? Also, any hints on making the tree last longer?

A: Pine is the scent people assosiate with Christmas Trees. Your Christmas Tree is likely NOT A PINE. You could try giving the tree warm or hot water and letting that be it's water (it won't kill the tree but it might help with the scent). You could scrape the some branches and the trunk that some times releases a scent. You could spike it's water with a scent you'd like to come out of the tree (they suck up everything/anything XD You could steam it's... I can't think of what they are called... Oh Needles. That's actually where your more likely to get a scent off the tree... needles and cones.
