Yearly schedule of jobs on the Christmas tree farm.

At East Fork Christmas Tree Farm in Ridgefield WA we have a list of tasks that have to be done every year. The schedule varies a little due to weather, availability of product and our time schedule. This video shows a calendar of jobs that we try to get done annually. The main jobs include: planting, fertilizing, spraying herbicide, aphid control, shearing and harvesting. ‪@FlanaganHomestead‬

Great info, but question. What are your thoughts on a smaller scale say 200 trees as far as mulching for weed control, for the first 2 years? Trying to stay away from chemical use as much as I can, for now.

[@FlanaganHomestead]

Mulching is a great option if you have the ability to do all your trees. We tried to go without herbicide for a couple years and just couldn’t keep up.

Rob may i ask, as i’m sure it may change but what is your personal favorite tree that you farm? Norseman? Grand?

[@FlanaganHomestead]

It used to be noble fir. But now we select nordmann fir to put in our home because it has great needle retention. As a farmer I like them because they seem to get less disease and the aphids don’t bother them.
