It's time to deck the halls again, anil
Christmas tree sales are booming.
A sales person at Safeway said long
needled pines are selling better than firs
despite their higher price. Scotch pines sell
for $16.95 while firs sell from $5.98 to
$7.98, depending on size.
Earl May's has a variety of trees. Scotch,
White and Norway pines starting at about
$15 and Balsam and Douglas firs run from
$3.49 to $15.
Cutting your own tree is a popular
trend, and most of the local tree farms are
already sold out or have only a few trees
left. Walter Bagley of Prairie Pines said
they sold out the first day they opened,
the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
"I think more and more people want a
tree they know is fresh. Also, when the
weather has been so nice, people are more
inclined to get out and cut their own,"
Bagley said.
Prairie Pines grows the usual varieties of
pine and fir and usually sells several
hundred trees a year. Most of the trees can
be sold when they are about seven years
old.
"We also have some special oversized
trees, mostly bought by organizations for
public displays," Bagley said.
Mr. B's, a nursery operation, sells both
cut trees and live potted trees. They report
greatly increased sales of live trees this
year, which can be planted outside later.
These trees run from $5 to $28 for a four
foot spruce or fir. Mr. B's is also selling cut
trees at $3.50 a foot.
