Beginning Christmas Trees
Are you thinking about getting into the Christmas tree
business? If so, this program is for you. It will explore
things you need to consider before diving into such
an adventure. Topics will include a look at what's involved
in growing Christmas trees, from planting to harvest,
and answer the question – 'Can I make any money
and what kind of investment does it take?' and what
kind of time and resource commitments are needed to
be successful.
