Oregon’s 6 million-plus
Yule trees said healthy
Just in time for the
holiday season, Oregon’s
Christmas tree industry has
a clean bill of health.
Facing a remote but
real threat from the organ-
ism that causes sudden oak
death, the industry came
through a comprehensive
inspection and certification
program with flying col-
ors, signaling a clean start
to the harvest and shipping
season this fall.
Last year, Oregon sold
6.6 million Christmas
trees, and approximately
81 percent were shipped
out-of-state.
The leading producer
of Christmas trees in the
United States, Oregon can
now assure its customers
across the country and
around the world that its
trees are free from pests
and diseases of concern.
Once again, Mexico is
the top export market for
Oregon Christmas trees.
Last year, a vast majority
of shipments -- 1,385 out
of a total 1,470 for all
countries -- made their
way to Mexico. While sud-
den oak death was not on
the radar last year, Mexi-
can officials have been
watching the issue closely
this year.
The targeted inspec-
tion and certification pro-
gram will help keep that
important export market
open for Oregon growers.
“Even though the risk
of sudden oak death in our
trees is minimal, we take
these kinds of issues very
seriously,” said Bryan Ost-
lund, executive secretary
of the Pacific Northwest
Christmas Tree Associa-
tion. “The industry has
used this certification pro-
gram to jump in front of
the issue, and we are
pleased with the results.”
With Oregon’s nursery
industry, the state’s Christ-
mas tree producers asked
the Oregon Dept. of Agri-
culture (ODA) to establish
a mandatory inspection,
testing, and certification
designed to detect the pres-
ence of Phytophthora
ramorum, the fungus that
causes sudden oak death.
Before any tree shipments
are allowed from Oregon,
the growers need to com-
plete the inspection and
certification process.
During the past three
months, ODA has been
able to check 588 Christ-
mas tree plantations. Us-
ing a visual inspection and
laboratory analysis of ran-
dom samples, ODA found
no cases of P. ramorum in
Oregon Christmas trees.
The clean bill of health
comes at the right time.
“We are confident that
the Christmas trees grown
in Oregon are free of the
disease,” said Gary McAn-
inich, supervisor of ODA’s
Nursery and Christmas
Tree Program. “This has
been a very important pro-
gram in that we wanted to
assure our customers and
ourselves that Oregon is
providing Christmas trees
free of sudden oak death.
“No one had been
looking for the disease in
Christmas tree plantations
to this degree in the past.
So we felt it necessary to
look at all our Christmas
tree growers to show that
this is not a problem here.”
ODA has always in-
spected trees for dangerous
pests and diseases before
issuing the all-important
phytosanitary certificate
that allows shipment. This
year’s new disease of con-
cern is sudden oak death.
“We have to send our
trees to where the custom-
ers are, and most of them
are not in Oregon,” said
McAninch. “It is important
that those states and coun-
tries feel confident they are
getting clean Christmas
trees from Oregon.”
