Christmas Tree Growing
Major Oregon Industry
By MARGARET MAGEE
Growing of the Christmas
tree you have in your home at
the Yule tide season la fast be
coming an Oregon Industry,
with tree farms being estab
lished in many places.
This does not mean that
these tree farmers axe merely
staking off an area of their
wood lot where trees are
grown. Their Christma. trees
are band-planted and cult
vated like any other crop.
One of the many of these
farms In this area is that of
Drew Michaels on Eola Drive,
three miles west of Salem. The
farm itself contains 18 acres
that will eventually be planted
to "Christmas trees , but to
dale only eight acres have been
planted.
The first planting on the
Michael farm waa in 1949 and

included 4.000 trees. It will not
be until Christmas time of 19S4
that any of these trees will be
ready for cutting. This year
those trees vary from two to
six feet in height.
Planting of the trees, which
are secured from the Oregon
forest nursery at Corvallli,
has been done by Michaels
with the help of the state for
estry department Two differ
ent spacings have been used in
the planting, with some set
four feet apart and some five
icct apart.
Two types of true firs are
now planted in the tree farm.
They are the Noble fir and the
Concolor white fir, both of
which are found in the higher
elevations of the state.
Next year, still another type
of white fir, the Grandis white
fir, will be added. In fact, late
in November of this year the
Michaels secured their next
year's planting from the Ore
gon forest nursery. These trees
have been placed in the Mich
aels' home nursery where they
will be kept until planting time
early next fall.
There are two reasons for
keeping the trees in the home
nursery. Next year they will
be larger and heartier, as well
as more acclimated and, also.
they can be planted early in
the fall before the heavy rains
start and the area where they
are planted becomes too muddy.
Not all of the work is fin
ished on a Christmas tree
farm after the trees have been
planted. They must be kept
tree ol weeds and cultivated.
When it comes time to cut
that Christmas tree the tree
farmer does not Just go in with
his "little hatchet" and chop
it off. Here, too, science en
ters the picture, for by cutting
the tree above the first whorl
ne may grow another Christ
mas tree off the same root The
strongest limb on the stub
turns upward and becomes the
new tree.
