In 2002, Oregon, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Washington, New York, and Virginia were the top Christmas tree producing states. Oregon was the leading producer of Christmas trees – 6.5 million in 2002. The best selling trees are Scotch pine, Douglas fir, Noble fir, Fraser fir, Virginia pine, Balsam fir and white pine. More than 2,000 trees are usually planted per acre. On an average 1,000-1,500 of these trees will survive. In the North, maybe, 750 trees will remain.

(266KB) Fertilizer applications are used during the growing season to improve the health and appearance of trees. Most deciduous trees should be fertilized once every two to three years. Evergreens may be fertilized in the spring, but less often than deciduous trees. Since trees have their greatest need for nutrients in the spring, fertilizer should be applied any time between leaf drop in the fall and leafing out in the spring. The health and vigor of a tree may be improved by fertilizers up to July 1. Beyond that time, new growth stimulated by the fertilizer may not have sufficient time to harden off before winter.

Eventually they will need severe pruning, which, even in the hands of experts, can lead to disfigurement. Ultimately, the trees are removed and conspicuous space is left in the landscape setting, decreasing property value. This would be unnecessary if the proper species of tree or shrub were selected in the first place. What follows is a partial listing of woody plants that are available at local nurseries or through mail catalogs which will be compatible with overhead power lines.

OPHARDT Special to the Herald If only we could capture the beauty of autumn and hold it to our hearts all winter long. One of the spectacular features of fall is the wonderful coloring of tree leaves. The more curious among us might wonder just how do leaves develop color in the fall? The purpose of plant leaves is to harness the sun's energy to feed the tree. They do this with the chloroplasts in leaf cells, which contain the green plant pigment, chlorophyll. This pigment enables leaves to capture the sun's energy to make sugars and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. During the growing season, the chlorophyll is abundant. As the weather turns c Read More Go to Site Pruning Trees and Shrubs Votes:0 Pruning Trees and Shrubs H-1036 , March 1992 (Reviewed and reprinted November 2001) Ronald C. Smith, Horticulturist and Turfgrass Specialist Dave DeCock, Cass County Horticulturist Pruning is necessary if the value and quality of the trees and shrubs in the landscape are to be maintained. The main reasons for pruning are removal of dead, diseased or injured branches; to improve the form, shape or size; to rejuvenate older plants and for safety and convenience. When To Prune Generally, the best time to prune woody plants is in the early spring while they are still dormant. Exceptions to this rule include plants that will "bleed" if pruned in winter or early spring. Although this loss of sap causes no harm to the plant, it is a source of concern for many homeowners. To prevent sap Read More Go to Site Sidewalks and Trees Votes:0 Horticulture Sidewalks and Trees How many times have you gone for a walk and noticed sidewalks cracked or heaved out of place because of tree roots? Unfortunately this problem is all too common. Not only are the damaged sidewalks a potential accident for pedestrians, correcting the situation can be damaging to the tree. Prevention is the best possible way to avoid having to deal with problem tree root systems. When root problems develop, root pruning may be necessary. Root pruning, however, should not to be taken lightly. Avoid planting trees in areas with less than three feet between paved areas. In areas with 3 to 4 feet between paved areas, plant trees that grow to a mature height of less than 30 feet. In areas with 5 to 6 feet between paved areas, select trees that mature about 50 feet Read More Go to Site Skunk Management Votes:0 Skunk Management Contact: Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Environmental Horticulture August 1996 Spring is the season when many gardeners and homeowners start thinking about managing skunk problems. Jim Parkhurst, Assistant Professor of Wildlife at Virginia Tech, offers a few suggestions. First, it helps to have some idea as to why skunks are coming into your yard and what they are doing, aside from "digging up the lawn." In most instances, skunks are seeking, and obviously have found, reliable food sources, especially insects, such as earthworms and the large, white grubs of the Japanese beetle. Although you may be successful in removing the offending animal doing the damage, in a short time, another likely will arrive to replace it. As long as reliable food is available, skunks and oth Read More Go to Site Southern Urban Forestry Associates Votes:0 Southern Urban Forestry Associates has a wide background in urban forestry.

Anita Carpenter Pine cones enter our lives in many ways -- as decorated wreaths, in floral displays and crafted into holiday ornaments. We suspend them as bird feeders packed with peanut butter or suet coated with seeds. We kick them along forest paths and cuss when they litter our lawn or get chewed up in the mower. We watch red squirrels shred them and crossbills meticulously extract seeds with surgical precision. We've all picked up cones of various sizes and shapes, casually looked at them and then unceremoniously tossed them aside, but do we really know what they are? We use the term "pine cone" to describe any cone from any conifer, but that's not righ Read More Go to Site The Selection and Protection of Fresh-Cut Christmas Trees Votes:0 The Selection and Protection of Fresh-Cut Christmas Trees H-1048, November 1992 George Maher, Agricultural Engineer Ronald C. Smith, Horticulturist The use of fresh-cut evergreen trees for the Christmas holidays brings both a pleasure and uniqueness that no artificial tree could ever match. Fresh trees can be obtained from local nurseries, fund raising organizations, general retail outlets or right off the tree farm itself. When seeking cut trees for use in homes or other interior settings, there are some guidelines that should be considered by the purchaser to get the best buy for the money. First of all, check the tree species. Commonly, Scotch pine, red (or Norway) pine, balsam fir and Douglas fir will be plentiful on the market. Fraser fir and Noble fir are also available, although not Read More Go to Site Tidbits Votes:0 Tidbits Information in pieces too small to consider as "publications" in their own right.

Part of the problem is that the action — getting water to roots — happens underground, where it is difficult to observe. Yet sound watering practices are a critical part of growing healthy plants — those with fewer pests, less disease damage, and more vigorous roots. Our program to kick bad watering habits is designed to help demystify watering. "Kick Bad Watering Habits" Amend the soil so that it absorbs and stores water. Don't water plants that do well with Mother Nature's irrigation. "Stop, poke, and dig" before (and after) watering. Use sprinklers efficiently. Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation wherever possible.
