Learning what happens to a tree over the 10 to 20 years of the life of the tree prior to filling your house with the scent of the forest is interesting. Gaudet shared that this year was definitely the most challenging year he has ever experienced as a Christmas tree grower and broker. Growing quality trees is for sure challenging, as each and every year every single tree needs to be touched to promote appropriate growth. There is a wide array of tasks done over the years including initially preparing the ground, planting the stock, irrigation, pre-shearing care, basal and leader care and shearing, side shearing, pest, disease and weed management and then, of course, harvesting, wrapping and shipping the stock.

On the prairies, we do have a relatively small market of growers at this time. However I understand there is a shortage of trees that are available in this market across North America. Before 2015, there were always trees left over that were not sold. Not the case now as there are fewer trees available due to a number of factors.
