abhege said:Can you then use some of the trimmings to make wreaths?
There are usually trees that are not perfect and can not be sold so we use those for making wreaths and we also give them to our neighbors who have a farmers market and they do not sell Christmas Trees, so they use our bottom cuttings and take our imperfect trees and holly to make their live wreaths and cemetery blankets, etc. They in turn make us a wreath for the barn and during the year I get a discount on my plants, etc. They used to sell trees but because of us being so close, they decided they would no longer sell trees and send us the business. It pays to be good neighbors and work together to please the customers. We in turn send them business for wreaths, etc.
Here is a picture of the wreath they make us each year. It is so big and beautiful.
