Larger Market for
Holly Seen by OSC
Corvallis -Oregon holly
growers will harvest nearly
$1 million in sprigs and
boughs this Christmas season
but have 'l 'barely scratched
the surface," an Oregon State
college horticulture specialist
believes.
Ralph Clark, OSC exten
sion service specialist, said
about 150 carloads of English
holly will be shipped from
Oregon to points throughout
the U. S. before. Christmas,
but he doubts that" a fraction
of the market potential has
been tapped.
When present rapid, refrig
erated transport is finally
coupled with orderly mar
keting of holly in eastern
population centers, Clark be
lieves this specialty crop may
become a major economic
asset.
Shipping Doubles
Shipping has more than
doubled in the past five years
and "orchard style" plantings
now total between 1,300 and
1,400 acres. Rapid industry
growth is tempered, however,
by the fact that trees require
10 years to reach commercial
production. Only one-half of
present plantings are in pro
duction. More than 90 per cent of
Oregon's holly production is
centered in Multnomah, Wash
ington, and Clackamas coun
ties where high quality trees
are favored by cool, moist cli
mate. Oregon leads in total pro
duction, followed by Wash
ington and British Columbia.
Northern California, bidding
for a small slice of the mar
ket, is hampered by compara
tively hot summers, the spe
cialist explains.
Late-Maturing
Early Northwest plantings
were the late-maturing strains
that don't normally produce
saleable boughs early enough
for distant Christmas mar
kets, Clark. noted. As late as
1940, most Oregon trees were
late maturing, and Clark said
about half the present produc
ing trees are of the late
strains. Improved strains,
through selection, now pro
duce rich mature foliage and
colored berries by mid-November.
Oregon State college
has more than 100 such va
rieties under observation.
Clark recommended plant
ing of one variegated variety
' for every two or three green
varieties for more flexibility
in meeting market demands.
Lifetime production of trees
has not yet been measured.
Oregon has some trees 50 to
60 years . old, and European
horticulturists report trees up
to 300 years old.
