| | Christmas Trees: Picking a Christmas Tree, Caring for a Christmas Tree |
| | Christmas trees also have been harvested as thinnings from young, planted forests. | | | For good quality trees, weeds, insect pests and diseases must be controlled, and the trees must be sheared for several years to yield a high number of trees with the desired form. | | | Christmas tree growers, like other farmers, need to be sensitive to potential environmental problems in the use of pesticides and other cultural practices. |

| | Selection and Care of Christmas Trees |
| | The tree should be placed in the hole, backfilled with the soil removed from the hole, watered, and mulched with straw, bark, sawdust, etc. The tree will remain dormant for the rest of the winter and then will start to grow normally with other vegetation in the spring. | | | Christmas trees are grown on farms, which always provide the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and the out-of-doors. | | | Christmas trees can be purchased in many ways, but the two most popular are retail lots and choose-and-cut farms. |
