Show Interest
In Tree Sales
Chattooga County farmers are
showing an increased interest in
the production of Christmas
trees, according to B. R. Murray,
forester, Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service.
“Christmas tree production
has had a struggle in getting
started in Georgia, but the fu
ture for the industry looks
bright,” Murray declared. He
based his statement on recent
surveys showing the steady
growth of the industry.
Very few Christmas trees were
planted in Georgia before 1950.
Since then a steadily increasing
number has been planted, but
unfortunately, the harvest has
been small compared to the
plantings, the Extension forester
pointed out. He cited low sur
vival and poor quality when
trees mature, as reasons for the
poor harvest. Low survival was
the result of improper site prep
aration. seedling care, and
planting technique. Poor quality
was brought about because of
little or no cultivation, protec
tion, and pruning.
In 1957 about 20,000 trees were
harvested from planted or
chards; in 1958 approximately
30.000, and in 1959 around 100,000
Christmas trees are expected to
be harvested.
“Next Christmas, one out of
every ten Christmas trees of
fered on the Georgia market will
be locally grown,” Murray de
clared. “These trees will be the
best buy on the market and
customers will have a chance to
get the freshest, most beautiful
Christmas trees they have ever
had in their homes during the
Christmas season.”
A willingness to put out some
hard labor to achieve the desired
goal is the chief “ingredient”
needed for successful Christmas
tree production, the Extension
forester pointed out. “Many peo
ple think that growing Christ
mas trees is an easy way to make
extra profits, but this is not
necessarily the case.” Murray
cited figures from his recent
survey showing that, at present,
only 70 out of 332 growers have
a profitable operation of grow
ing Christmas trees.
“These figures indicate that
we do not need more growers,
but better ones. Many of those
who are failing in this enterprise
are either unable or unwilling to
spend the necessary time and
labor to get good production.
Many do not have the necessary
equipment or land to do the
job.”
Murray advised any farmer
interested in starting to grow
trees for the Christmas tree
market to contact his County
Agent M. H. Purcell and request
a copy of a new Extension bulle
tin, “Growing Christmas Trees.”
From this publication he can
learn skillful planting, cultiva
tion, and pruning and other
techniques necessary for suc
cessful Christmas tree growing.
