The Land<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t need perfect land to start a Christmas tree farm. In fact, any land that you have that is rocky or less than suitable for fragile crops may do well with Christmas trees. Why let the land sit unused and wasted when you can help the people in your area that want a live Christmas tree? As a bonus, you can \nincrease your profits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You Need Time<\/h2>\n

Beware, that Christmas trees aren\u2019t a \u2018get rich quick scheme.\u2019 They take time \u2013 much more time than any other crop. You need to plan way ahead if you plan to undergo this endeavor. It can take as long as 10 years for the crop to come to maturity.<\/p>\n

You also need time for maintenance. While the trees do take a long time to grow, they need to be well cared for in the meantime. You have to prune them, prevent diseases, and make sure they grow in a way that can support a tree topper, such as a star or angel.<\/p>\n

Every few years you will have to shear the tree to make sure that its branches grow in hearty. This will help the tree take the \u2018Christmas tree shape\u2019 that people look for too.<\/p>\n

The Business Side<\/h2>\n

Once you establish your trees, or even beforehand, you\u2019ll need to \ncreate a business plan<\/a>. You need to know where and when you\u2019ll sell your trees. How will you sell them? How much will you sell them for? Who is your target market? How will you advertise?<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also need to determine if you want to sell pre-cut trees or if you want to let the buyers cut the tree down themselves. This will determine the type of business you run as there are markets for both types of trees.<\/p>\n

In order to start a successful Christmas tree farm, you need land and the know-how on how to manage these trees. If you have to hire someone to care for the trees, you\u2019ll have to take that into consideration when you determine your profits.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a way to make a little extra money on the land that otherwise sits idle, you may consider a Christmas tree farm. It can be a great way to make money right when most families need it the most!<\/p>\n
