Propagation of a Christmas tree using your CUT Christmas tree

Propagation of a Christmas tree using your CUT Christmas tree

The beautiful CUT Christmas tree which you purchased this year is not suitable
to use to propagate new trees. Most commercial Christmas trees are propagated
from seeds. From found or purchased seedlings, in a few years you will have a
wonderful supply of Christmas trees to use, give away or sell!

Some of the favorite varieties used for Christmas trees in the US and Canada
are:
Concolor Fir
Fraser Fir - a top choice
Norway Spruce
Douglas Fir - a top choice
Eastern White Pine  Southwestern White Pine
Balsam Fir - a top choice
Scotch Pine
Colorado Blue Spruce
Canaan Fir
Eastern Red Cedar
White Spruce
Eastern White Pine
Virginia Pine  Noble Fir

Some the the most beautiful Christmas trees are the living trees in pots or
balls. After the holiday season simply take the tree outside and plant it at
the appropriate time for your area (subject to frozen soil to dig the planting
hole).
