With winter finally reaching an end, many families are preparing to, or have already, taken down their Christmas wreaths until the holiday season returns.

Although we often picture Christmas trees dusted with snow or festooned with lights and ornaments, here at Christmas Farms we nurture them through their entire life cycle. As farmers, the summer is our growing season, a time when we plant new trees and nurture our spruce, fir and pine. With more than 100,000 trees in the ground at any given time, our summer season is our time of preparation.

Surrounded by our 100,000 trees here at Christmas Farms, we’re thinking about the Christmas season year-round. But Christmas in July? We think it’s a great time for you to take a moment and join us in planning for the upcoming holiday season! 

Going by a number of names, including red fir, Douglas spruce, and Oregon pine, the Douglas Fir has long been the country's most beloved Christmas tree. If you grew up in a home that celebrated Christmas, there's a very good chance that – at one point or another – you had one of these beautiful trees in your living room. Known for their soft, greenish-blue needles and their sweet, citrusy fragrance, Douglas Firs are strong and offer good needle retention. Because of this, they can withstand the weight of copious amounts of ornaments and – better yet – they won't leave a carpet of needles on your living room floor!

Evergreens are a beacon of hope in the middle of winter, something green amid the gray skies and white landscapes. But why? How are they able to stay green while deciduous trees (oaks, maples, birch, etc.) lose their leaves in the fall? Both evergreens and deciduous trees get their green color from chlorophyll, which is required for photosynthesis, the process which plants use to make their food. It requires both sunlight and water. In the fall, when days get short, and less sunlight is available, deciduous trees lose their chlorophyll, the green fades, and the color show begins. But as the leaves dry out, the fading continues, and the leaves eventually drop.

I remember when I was a kid, getting the family Christmas tree was a big deal. We didn't go quite as far as Clark Griswold and family, but it was wonderful. My brothers and sisters, Mom and Dad, would pile into the family sedan, and head out to the country. We'd tramp through a tree farm, in search of that one, special, perfect tree. What seemed like hours later (probably no more than 20 minutes), rosy cheeks and with frostbitten toes, we'd climb back in the car while Dad tied the tree to the roof of the car.

We all know that Premium Christmas Wreaths offers the best fresh Christmas trees in the business. But, after the season is over, what happens to all of those old, dried out trees? After being picked up, many of them are turned into mulch. Others are used as fuel in waste-to-energy plants. Some of them are simply sent to the landfill and forgotten. Well, that's a shame! In Riverside, California, however, things are working a little differently as they've found an ingenious use for their residents' discarded Christmas trees.

With Christmas behind us, it's time to start thinking about what should be done with your home's Christmas tree. As beautiful as our trees are, they simply aren't intended to be left in the house year round!

In today's post, we're going to give you a few options for recycling your tree and, hopefully, ease your mind and allow you to fully enjoy your post-Christmas relaxation.

Hanging mistletoe at Christmas is a tradition for many American families. At Christmastime if you're caught under the mistletoe, which is usually trimmed with evergreens, ribbons, and other ornaments, you cannot refuse a kiss. Legend has it that the plant has the ability to give enhanced fertility to the smoochers below it, as well as being considered a 'plant of peace' which would squelch even the most hostile disputes. In this post we're going to talk about some very surprising mistletoe facts.
