  • Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual
    PB 1854 Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual 1 Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual Contributing Authors Alan B. Galloway Area Farm Management Specialist [email protected] Megan Bruch Leffew Marketing Specialist [email protected] Dr. David Mercker Extension Forestry Specialist [email protected] Foreword The authors are indebted to the author of the original Production of Christmas Trees in Tennessee (Bulletin 641, 1984) manual by Dr. Eyvind Thor. His efforts in promoting and educating growers about Christmas tree production in Tennessee led to the success of many farms and helped the industry expand. This publication builds on the base of information from the original manual. The authors appreciate the encouragement, input and guidance from the members of the Tennessee Christmas Tree Growers Association with a special thank you to Joe Steiner who provided his farm schedule as a guide for Chapter 6. The development and printing of this manual were made possible in part by a USDA specialty crop block grant administered through the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The authors thank the peer review team of Dr. Margarita Velandia, Dr. Wayne Clatterbuck and Kevin Ferguson for their keen eyes and great suggestions. While this manual is directed more toward new or potential choose-and-cut growers, it should provide useful information for growers of all experience levels and farm sizes. Parts of the information presented will become outdated. It is recommended that prospective growers seek additional information from their local University of Tennessee Extension office and from other Christmas tree growers. 2 Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual Contents Chapter 1: Beginning the Planning ...............................................................................................

Contact info for Canterbury Gardens [email protected] 760-746-1400 SELECT A COLOR SCHEME AND THEME I have a collection of basic balls and ornaments in clear, white, silver and gold. To that I add an accent color… red, cobalt blue, pink, purple, multiple colors, black, grey, hot pink, orange, even lime green. Decide on your foliage color I like to select my foliage… green or flocked. I repeat the foliage in every vignette. All flocked, all green or an ombre effect as in Christmas 2016 videos. Shop for items that fit your scheme like: Balls and ornaments Sprays and picks Garlands Ribbons… be sure to buy enough of at least one style of wired ribbon to carry throughout your entire decorations. Icicles Snowflakes Critters Allow enough time to decorate your tree… My Christmas Tree … takes me about 2 days with continous fussing for about a week. Decorate Your Tree 1O STEPS TO THE PERFECT 10 steps to the perfect Christmas Tree! TREE DETAILED LIST: NOTE* before you begin…If you plan to hang anything from the ceiling above your tree… do that first. Otherwise, you wont be able to reach it after your tree is finished! Set your tree up in the desired location on top of a 30” X 30” piece of cardboard. Use painter’s tape to outline the height and width of the location of the tree on your walls and ceiling for reference. Now take the cardboard base you placed under your tree and slide the tree over to make the ceiling above the tree accessible.

On Thursday, November 14th, 2019, David W. Rice passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family. He fought an extraordinarily courageous battle with esophageal cancer. He was 61. Dave's full obituary can be read at www.stetsonsfuneralhome.com/memorial.aspx?oid=1680&vid=1. One passage, relating to his family's tree farm, reads as follow: “In 1989, he planted his first field of balsam firs, which was the start of his family owned and operated choose and cut Christmas tree farm. It brought him great joy to see growing families return year after year to create cherished memories at Rice Christmas Tree Farm.” On Sunday, December 15, 2019, Jim Pearson, 82, was fatally attacked in the front yard of his home in Scarborough. He was a well-known figure in his community and had been a teacher for many years at Gorham High School teaching industrial arts, graphics arts and drafting. Jim and his wife, Nancy, founded Beech Ridge Farm in 1969 and began planting Christmas trees there in 1986. With the help of their children, they have been planting new trees to continue the Beech Ridge Farm into the future.

We have much to celebrate; the first woman Vice President, more female repre- sentation in Congress, amazing turnout, and the passage of the $15 mini- mum wage amendment in Florida. Now that the election banners have been put away, it is time to govern. This is when the rubber meets the road. We need to make sure those election promises are met and not forgotten. AAUW National will be watching and advocating for our Public Policy Priori- ties, both as this session of Congress wraps up and as the new legislative year begins. As AAUW members, as these topics come up at the State and National lev- els, we also personally need to advocate. The easiest way to stay up to date on the issues is to sign up for The Two Minute Activist. This service provides you with the information you need to easily voice your opinions and concerns on legislative issues. You can sign up on AAUW National’s website or by tex- ting “AAUW” to 21333. Another way to help is to support the AAUW Action Fund by direct donation. The AAUW Action Fund “advances equity for women and girls through member activism and voter mobilization.” There is a link on the AAUW National website to the AAUW Action Fund site.
