Wisconsin Christmas Tree Farms Are Great For Nature

By Essie Osborn


Around the holidays, everyone is distracted looking for decorations and things to serve on the festive table, to spend this unique celebration in a magnificent way. The Christmas tree is the symbol of this celebration and should be present in every home during this holiday. In the State of Wisconsin, some have turned this tradition in good business, as they have Wisconsin Christmas tree farms for growing such trees, and the diversity of species there is immense.

The buyers, who choose the plastic option, highlight the many factors that support their selection, convenience, cleanliness, multi-use, protection of the environment. In support of this decision, they refer to the fact that the some farms use insecticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Improper usage of such products may pose a risk to health and to have implications for water quality and the wildlife.

The most common types offered for the holiday come and get spruced up. The ordinary ones is a beautiful plant with a proper conical crown at a young age. Distinguish it with its flat needles with two white stripes down the side.

Proponents of natural choices remind you that a large part of these artificial trees are imported from Southeast Asia, expressing concerns over the stringency of the rules for the protection of the environment during their production, and the non-renewable fuels that are required for the arrival of the products to the States. On top of that, most of these trees get made from PVC, the manufacture of which has many known carcinogens. About ten acres of ever- green trees can remove as many as 13,000 pounds of air pollutants annually and produce the oxygen 18 people need daily.

Common spruce is another kind of tree, which is available in garden centers. It looks like a pine, especially while the trees are small. You'll recognize it by the needles that are tapered with a diamond cross-section and a spiral located on the twigs and is more sustainable in urban conditions due to the stem and branch system it has.

For the end of year holidays, you all want to decorate your own Christmas tree. When you buy a live one, you will give its contribution to the preservation of nature. But to survive the holidays, you need to carefully choose it and care for it well.

Maritime pine is a plant, whose natural range covers part of the Mediterranean coast of Europe and Africa, and Atlantic coast of Southwest Europe. Sea pine is one of the fastest growing representatives of the genus. It shows a very rapid growth in the first years and retains this rate to 50-60 years of age.

The Picea conica is a compact, slow-growing variety, suitable for continuous growing in a pot. You get a 70 cm tall plant, which can be wrapped with paper and ribbons, with decorations on the cones to bring the season's spirit into your home for your friends. The size of the plant goes along with pot planting nicely.
