In the American State of Wisconsin, first ever farm for growing Christmas trees opened. The farm is situated on an area of about 10 acres and before the festive season, you can buy live coniferous trees of any kind and size there. Sales happen only in December, but the work on the planting and cultivation of the plants is done at Wisconsin Christmas tree farms during the other eleven months of the year.
There are two possibilities for choosing a live plant. Each person makes a pick according to their preferences and options, so you can choose one, which after the holiday can be planted in the park or cultivated in a pot on the terrace during the rest of the year. If you do not want to store it throughout the year, you can choose any type of coniferous plant that you like. Buy it a few days before the holiday and after this, plant it in a nearby park or in nature.
Year after year, more and more people put these festive trees in their homes, and they have become a constant companion to the holidays. Today, you can not imagine this holiday without a traditional plant, with all the lights and trimmings. For years, people have been using fir-trees, felled pine or spruce.
The natural habitats of these plants are mountain areas with an altitude of 1200 -1400 m. It is sensitive to urban air pollution and summer droughts, hence you need to plant your trees in a park, or in nature. But on the farm, the experts try to make conditions for the growth of the plant that are near the natural maximum.
It is important to decide where to plant your trees. At the moment, it will looks tiny and cute, but you should not forget that in time, it could create problems in your garden- overshadow other plants, the lawn and even threaten the foundations of your House. The most commonly used trees are spruces and pines.
The plant is native to the mountains of Southern Greece and Macedonia. In comparison with the ordinary ones, these are warm temperature and drought resistant. Grows in calcareous soils and suffers from late spring frost.
Another problem that you have to solve is the acclimatisation. The removal of the trees from the hot room directly on the cold is quite risky. Well, before you take it out, first leave it in a cool room, don't forget to water it, but if you do not have a suitable place-take it out on the indoor space in the yard on a warmer day or when the snowfall slows.
The next danger from which you have to protect the living tree is freezing the roots- this can be done with the isolation or covering of the pot. Plant it before the start of spring /March, beginning of April/because with later removal of the plant from the pot, even small damage to the roots will reflect on the new-emerging soft twigs. When it comes to the time for planting, be careful not to damage the roots.
