Growing Christmas Trees: Select the Right Species, Raise the Best Trees, Market for the Holidays. A Storey BASICS® Title

We learned so much! The format is easy to follow, and easily understood. A must buy if you are considering investing in a Christmas tree farm! It goes into such detail as the varying soil requirements of different tree species, desirability of reach species, how to make wreaths, a comparison of several farming methods, a breakdown of specialized equipment, and even a year round calendar or necessary annual tasks. I read it quickly, but I've kept it handy as a reference thereafter.

This book is. . . fine.It is literally, a selection of paragraphs cut and pasted from Lewis Hill’s much more thorough (and more interesting) book - ‘Christmas Trees, Growing and Selling Trees, Wreaths, and Greens’.Like I said, this ‘book’ is fine, but I’d call it merely a summary, or a book report even of Lewis Hill’s original. Looks like the publishing company was just hard pressed for material and tried to pass this off as ‘new’.Ultimately, glad to have both on my shelf as books written on the topic are in short supply.

Easy to read and an important source of information for new Christmas tree farmers.

Well written and an easy read! Good reference manual!

Very easy read while being extremely informative. Helped give us lots to think about to start a family run Christmas tree farm.

Great book, easy read

This is a small but helpful book. Based on the size and thickness of the book, I think it is a bit overpriced.

Good information-just what we were looking for. Quick read, good price and shipped quick.

Basically it tells you quite well how to grow Christmas trees. It's based on N. America so relates to various areas there rather than UK but the principles are easily transferable. Found it useful but nothing in it that was too suprising to me. Even taking care many of my young trees have gone brown - I hadn't thought of the drying effects of a dry wind and the book, so far as I remember, didn't mention it.For commerial (rather than charity) sales there is good basic advice on variations in marketing techniques.

This book was second hand , but looked brand new ! I was so pleased with it . The price was excellent. It had all that I needed to know .

well detailed wee book

Good starting point with information on different trees. Concise! Glad I bought it

Very good information and book in good shape
