We’ve hand selected 100 beautiful, we mean absolutely gorgeous noble firs that will be at the tree farm starting Friday November 25th. The trees we grow at our farm include Douglas, Grands, Nobles and Frasier Fir. Typically Nobles grow much better in a different climate so we hand pick the best Nobles we can find, cut them on Thanksgiving and bring them to our farm for you to take home and enjoy.

Noble Firs are the longest lasting trees (and the most sturdy) great for small children and pets, large and heavy ornaments and providing a one of a kind aroma to fill your home. Grand firs are known for they are more layered look and unique aroma (most people think these smell the best) and our Douglas fir are the traditional Christmas Tree here in the Pacific Northwest. They are more cone shaped, smell wonderful and we have thousands of them for you to choose from!

We are ready for the 2011 season to begin. We will have beautifully stunning wreaths this year that you will just have to take home. These are “luxury” wreaths this year so be prepared to bring one home along with your Christmas tree!

Fresh Noble Firs are Here!

We hand pick our beautiful Noble Firs every year for  you to take home and enjoy. This year the Noble Firs look better than ever! Our Nobles are grown in Shelton, WA, the Christmas Tree Capital of the World. With sturdy branches, great for homes with pets, children and heavy ornaments and a wonderful aroma, Noble Firs are often referred to as the Cadillac of Christmas Trees.

Our Noble Firs are a great price and will make a wonderful addition to your Christmas celebration!

Remember to water your tree daily. A green and healthy tree is maintained with consistent water!

_______________________________________________________________

Water and what? Water and nothing else, actually. A lot of people mistakenly think adding something to the water keeps the tree fresher, when in fact the most common mistake is just not providing enough water. A moderate-sized tree will gulp up close to four litres on the first day after a fresh cut is made.

Why water? Water will not only keep those needles from falling off before Santa arrives, but it also keeps the branches from drooping and losing all your decorations. Furthermore, a freshly watered tree is beautifully fragrant. Isn’t that the reason you got a real tree to begin with?

How much? You must water your tree every single day. A fresh tree will drink about one litre of water everyday. If you miss a day and the water runs dry, a layer of sticky sap forms over the bottom of the trunk, blocking water from being absorbed at all. The only way to remedy this is to cut another slice from the bottom… not at all easy if your tree is already decorated.

Can’t say it enough: Moisture is key. So, besides regular watering, keep your tree away from drafts and direct sources of heat. Ducts, fireplaces, electric heaters, even television sets will only serve to dry out your tree.

Where do they come from?

• Most fake trees (85%) in the U.S. are imported from China. Almost 10 Million fake trees were sold worldwide in 2003. The U.S. Commerce Dept. tracks the Import of Fake Trees

• Most fake trees are made of metals and plastic.

What are fake trees made of?

• Most artificial Christmas trees are made of metals and plastics. The plastic material, typically PVC, can be a potential source of hazardous lead. Read a warning about them from the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition.

• Lead can sometimes be found in artificial trees. * Why do some artificial trees carry a warning label?

• The potential for lead poisoning is great enough that fake trees made in China are required by California Prop 65 to have a warning label.

Why did the USDA quarantine some artificial trees?

• Some fake trees have a wooden center pole. In 2004, the U.S. Department of Agriculture placed a quarantine on fake trees from China, which had a potentially harmful beetle in the center pole.

Who decided to make a fake Christmas tree?

• Actually fake trees were invented by a company who made toilet bowl brushes, the Addis Brush Company. Regardless of how far the technology has come, it’s still interesting to know the first fake Christmas trees were really just big green toilet bowl brushes.

Are fake trees really fireproof?

• Overloaded electrical outlets and faulty wires are the most common causes of holiday fires in residences – these are just as likely to affect artificial trees as Real Trees.

Are fake trees better for the environment?

• As mentioned before, most artificial trees are manufactured in China and contain PVC (polyvinyl chloride). In fact, artificial Christmas Trees were recently added to the Center for Health, Environment & Justice’s list of household products containing PVC.

• According to the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition, the manufacture of PVC creates and disperses dioxins, which include the most toxic man-made chemical known. Released into air or water, dioxins enter the food chain, where they accumulate in fatty tissues of animals and humans, a potential risk for causing cancer, damaging immune functions and impairing children’s development.

• According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), approximately one tenth of one percent (0.12%) of residential fires involve a Christmas Tree — both real and artificial.
• At NO time can a Real Christmas Tree START or CAUSE a fire. Christmas Trees do not spontaneously combust.
• In 1998 more than 32 million Real Christmas Trees were used in the U.S. Of these, only 0.00093% was ignited in home fires.
• Christmas Trees are not as likely to be the first item ignited in residential fires as many other common household items:
• Newspapers and magazines — 13 times more likely
• Boxes or bags — 10 times more likely
• Curtains or drapes — 9 times more likely
• Overloaded electric outlets and faulty wires are the most common causes of holiday fires in residences – these types of fires can be just as dangerous with an artificial tree.
