What's Happeing

We are winding down from the 2002 Christmas season, which went very well this year.

For the 2003 spring season we will be starting to plant some more exotics. Fralsam will be the primary exotic, but will also be planting Korean Fir, Cork Bark Fir, Turkish Fir, and Canaan Fir.

We have acquired more land, and will be starting to develop the land in the near future.

Basal pruning is being done to attain a handle to put into a tree stand. It is done at an early stage to heal bark scaring and to get rid of unwanted branches. This allows for better weed control and easier fertilizing.

Don't forget we are offering a Four Seasons New Hampshire Vacation sponsored by Fantastic Firs of New Hampshire. You may click for more information and to view the sponsoring resorts. You will be able to pick up entry blanks at participating retailers.
