Xmas trees

[westphalian]

Now I don’t bother with xmas trees being a member of the church of latter day tight arses but my daughter is coming for Xmas and she wants one. Is there a problem with just using the top 8ft of one of the many N Spruces that I will be felling?

Anyone done that?

I can’t see a problem

[Steve Bullman]

Nope. why would there be?

Unless it’s very slow growing , it won’t be very Christmas tree like.

plus it’s for your Daughter , buy a nice Noble ?.

she gets enough money from me.

as there doesn't seem to be a problem, why are  the tops not sold on for this market at this time of year? or are they?

Waiting for a spruce to grow to 30’ just to harvest 8’ off the top wouldn’t make a lot of commercial sense.
My mate planted 900 Nordman firs a few years ago and he’s still got a good few years to wait until he has a crop.

Lol. What else are you going to do with the top 8ft of a

an 18” dbh spruce bar burn/shred/leave to rot?
