Very comforting to see and hear Mr. Cook.
He looks like his old self now!!
Wishing him the best of best holiday season
This is an old video
I had no idea producing Christmas trees took this much work. I always wondered how they could supply so many trees year after year to everyone who celebrates.. definitely have so much more appreciation now for the hard work the people making these trees do.
Roger is like our favorite uncle. Love the guy!
Dont care about the trees. Just happy to see roger!
Eduardo Sanchez he seems to be a lot better!
@AstronomyToday it is, these are all old reruns from years prior.
Get well soon Roger miss you on the show
Merry Christmas to Roger and the rest of the folks at This Old House!
This is why This Old House is awesome. Helps you in every aspect of your life.
Fraser Fur is definitely the most popular in Southeastern USA, and quite beautiful, but they only grow wild in a very, very limited region in and around the Smokies, and are also an endangered species. If you get one, make sure it comes from a sustainable tree farm.
How interesting! Nothing beats a fresh cut tree....
Happy to see you Roger..
What a real nice helpful guy who loves his job.
I'm so happy to see Roger back. Roger gave me the urge now to go out and buy a Christmas tree.

Few years old or what this is some quality tree picking experience I wish I had something like this in my hometown area
Yes! Roger is the best!
Merry Christmas to you all out there 🎅 🎄 🎁
“Now this here is a tree”
That tree looks AMAZING!!! Long live the blesséd Fraser Fir! My favourite!
Didn't realize Frazier Firs weren't the #1 tree in the north east. My family has been getting them in the midwest since at least the 90s. They are great and take plenty of ornaments. Best wishes.
Roger is looking well, certainly a good sign. Nice vid about the trees as well.
love it
Lovely trees!
Thanks Roger, I think I'll have to find a good tree next year.
I thought they grew a lot quicker than that, great vid thanks 👍
Love Christmas :-)
This looks like an old episode, still great though!
Just a heads up, this video is a few years old.
That frayser fur is the one we’ve been using down here in Florida since I can remember. I’m 28 soo not an exceptionally long time but still, a couple decades is a lil while lol. Beautiful trees and that smell is the stuff of angels.
This was filmed in 2006 folks, so stop the comments about how Roger has miraculously recovered and give him some respect here for the 14 year old footage.
I wanna know what you do after they cut the tree down they dig it out or it grows after so many years?
Roger thought he was gonna get away w/o working. Lol
This video is a few years old. I thought the same thing too initially
If only the scene directly before that Roger wasn't already holding the saw. That line was "Obviously" scripted and I just wish the lines were more natural feeling. Sometimes It feels like I'm watching a high school play with all the terrible line deliveries but the info is usually solid.
What does the farm do with the leftover stump after you cut your Tree off
I have a 7ft tall Fresar Fir, this is first time we're using it. We always get Douglas Fir, but Fresar Fir is better.
is this a recent video or a re release from a prior season ? for some reason i think i have seen this video a few years ago
That shearing knife is amazing, where would someone buy one of those?
🌲🌲🌲🌲lovely 🌲🌲🌲🌲
Like my Tescos basic tree.
Must take a lot of patience
i miss noble firs. i dont see many of those anymore.
Pretty sure Mythbusters showed the best way to retain the needles on these trees is to spray them generously with hairspray..! Put them in water too, but hairspray is the key.
I love Christmas
😊
R💙ger!!!!
Where is everything filmed?
What do you mean by "Everything" because the literal answer to that is everywhere on the planet but if you mean just This Old House then the answer to that is All 50 states but mostly in and around Boston where they are located.
Didnt seem like the trees were very dense with branches. I'm guessing they arent shaped that often. Beautiful trees nonetheless.
Why am I sleepy all of a sudden?
I sell trees too 😎
I really hope his health has improved and this is not an old video.
3rd comment
Did roger have a health scare??
seed sauce
Nobles or Nordmans are Christmas Tree Champs
Where is this located at????
It's Evergreen Farm in Sterling, Massachusetts.
Looks like Dubai
looks like mexico
You whant to put your tree in loft
why dont you take the tree with its roots? and not let it die
it took it about 15 years to grow this size!
Its not like they dont replant trees in its place, it is a tree farm after all
Can you say, "RENEWABLE resource?"
@svtfast You can get them like that, I had one a couple of years ago, and it now resides in my backyard growing well.
I still have no idea how a tree farmer makes a profit.
I can give you the 3 best tips for picking trees.
1. Dont go shopping
2. Stay home
3. Thats it
Follow those 3 tips and cleaning up after Christmas will take you no time at all. Literally
That's like the old saying, how not to get pregnant: abstinence.
"bigotries"
PEOPLE, THESE ARE OLD EPISODES
Original air date was November 29, 2007 and so this was filmed a year earlier in 2006. 14 years old now.
@@oldtwinsna8347 yea, everyone is saying Roger is back and everything but I don’t think anyone realizes these are old reruns. 😂😂
How to pick out the perfect tree..... get a fake one
Ya all this work and money then people just toss them when Christmas is over makes no sense what so ever
So sad to see nature destroyed for temporary human pleasure
It's not like they're going into the forest and chopping the trees down. They grow them on the farm and replace them next year with a tree that'll grow for another 10yrs. It's a sustainable source, as long as they replace the trees that were cut down and pine trees produce a lot of oxygen for the environment.
Criminal . Grow a beautiful tree. Cut it down before it is really useful and then throw it away.
Not always, the municipality where I live collects them and grinds them up for mulch, I've heard of others that put them in lakes to create fish habitat. I take mine cut it up and burn it in my firepit in the back yard to keep warm while working outside during the winter.
Rodger looks a lot healthier now. But not to be rude those trees are hideous looking they don't look full at all
I guess you're used to fake plastic trees.
jej3451 no but nice try
I will buy NONE of these trees.
None of them have roots with soil so they will die out way too fast.
And a dead tree is a firebomb.
Put it in a stand with water in the base, duh. It only has to last a few weeks.
illuminati, Grinch ! lol, Jk.
