Douglas Fir
Christmas Trees
|
Oregon farms in the Willamette
Valley have grown Douglas Fir Christmas trees
since the 1950’s. Soil and climate conditions
on the plantations where they are grown are
perfect for producing healthy, high quality
trees.

| This
perennial favorite has very fine soft needles
with a bright green hue. Competitively priced,
it provides retail tree lots a great offering
for budget minded customers. With its full
bushy appearance, Douglas Fir is the easiest
tree to decorate. Its upright branches leave
plenty of room for regular size ornaments
and lights. |

Tree Grower’s Edge
|
Douglas Fir is the first tree we grew when
we started working on Oregon tree farms and it remains
the most popular Christmas tree in many markets.
Today, as in this 1981 photo, every tree is still
sheared by hand each summer.

 Inspecting
Douglas Fir each year after they have been sheared
is essential to check for workmanship, as well as
to look for plant diseases and insects like Swiss
Needle Cast and Needle Midge that appear only in
Douglas Fir. Over the years, we have shipped
Douglas Fir to Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas,
Arizona, and California. Douglas Fir
Christmas trees are intended for use in
areas not subject to intense freezing conditions. |
