2016 was a great growing season. We are excited that the trees for the tree lots have been tagged and sheared. We are almost ready to roll. The harvest is just weeks away. #raleighchristmas #carychristmas #hollyspringschristmas #ncchristmas #realtrees #fraserfir #ashecounty

Although the weather has been dry this fall for seedlings that were planted this spring, the harvest has been much more efficient than last year when the mud was ankle deep #hollyspringschristmastrees #carychristmastrees #ncchristmastrees #raleighchristmas #realchristmastrees #ashecountychristmastrees #silverlinings

Some tree farms may bale 200-500 per day using a crew of 6-8. Others may bale 10,000 in one day using 60 people. There is a broad range of production between the different tree farms in North Carolina depending on each niche market #ashecountychristmastrees #realchristmastrees #ncchristmastrees #raleighchristmas #hollyspringschristmastrees #carychristmastrees
