One acre of Christmas trees provides the daily oxygen requirements for 18 people. So with the help of many other tree growers, Willey’s Christmas Trees is proud that it can help supply the oxygen needs for 18 million people. |
Planting
We have experienced a better
survival rate by transplanting our trees in the spring. However, not all
trees will survive after their relocation in the field. Here
daughter-in-law Deb is replacing the few that did not make it. |

These trees have been in this
field for about three years. Like vegetables in your garden, Christmas trees grow
better if they do not need to compete with weeds for nutrients. This is
accomplished by minimal treatment on a small area on each side of the tree
row, while the remaining area is left to grow naturally and then mowed as
needed. |
Once in the field, the trees are cared for each year until harvested. Continue on the journey to Fertilizing.
