A different kind of question.

A few years ago, I thought of planting Christmas trees. The agent told me they would not do well in my soil. He was right: My next door neighbor planted eleven acres of trees in the field next to mine and they all died!

Good Luck

Those who just raise the trees for an in-town lot make much less on their investment.

Be prepared to learn a LOT about grooming trees for appearance. Well formed trees require years of grooming to grow full and pretty (top dollar). When it's all done you can be wiped out by draught, bugs, blight, disease or the market in general. Basically, it's farming just like any other crop and no small task.

Many folks think tree farming is just waiting for the cash to walk up their driveway. It's good work but anything you bring in as profit is well earned. It is fun though and I've thought of doing it myself, even if just for my extended family.
