The first seedlings planted in 1973 by the Sederquist family were White spruce and Norway Spruce. Carrying on the tradition, the planting team has expanded to include Jonathan’s wife and son, and always with the help of other family members. Varieties grown today include Balsam Fir, Canaan Fir, Concolor Fir, and Fraser Fir, White Spruce, Blue Spruce and Meyer Spruce, and White Pine.
In the spring, we plant 500 to 1,000 two-year-old seedlings by hand into the main fields. Then, throughout the season, we assess the nutritional needs of the trees, fertilize when necessary, and monitor for insect damage, fungal diseases, and root rot in all fields. We spend time in the summer trimming and shaping the trees, and routinely mowing between the rows to control vegetation and weed pressure. If our care practices are successful and the deer go on sabatical, the trees are ready in 8 to 10 years for your family’s Christmas tradition.
We are open the day after Thanksgiving through December 24th, weekends only, for tree sales and tagging.
We suggest wearing appropriate footwear and outerwear to allow for a comfortable visit.
We furnish saws and tags, although we invite you to design your own creative tag to add a festive and personalized character to our tree fields.
We shake, clean, and wrap all the trees upon your request.
