We grow balsam firs and Fraser firs.
In the spring, we plant trees that stem from good genetics and have good needle retention. We manually trim our fir trees every summer in order to give them a lovely regular conical shape and to increase their density. Cutting of the Fraser fir starts at the end of October, and the balsam firs are cut at the beginning of November. The trees are all fertilized on a yearly basis.
Our fir trees are planted in loamy and sandy loamy type soil. The sandy soil of our Appalachian mountains gives stronger trees.
