Vision Statement: CTFANY’s vision is to be the premier Christmas Tree Farmers Association in the United States. We foresee a profitable Real Christmas Tree Industry that is environmentally responsible and competitive on a regional and national scale. We will increase the real tree industry by producing Christmas trees and evergreen products of the highest quality while providing ultimate customer satisfaction. 12 10 TIPS ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 It’s OK To Say It . . . MERRY CHRISTMAS! Keep tree in a cool, shady place like the garage until ready to bring indoors. Saw 1/4 inch off bottom of trunk prior to placing the tree in stand. Make a cut perpendicular to the axis of the stem, not at angles or a v-shaped cut. Make sure to place tree in water-holding stand immediately after making cut. Stand must be able to hold enough water for the size of the tree. Use warm water for the first fill of the stand. Maintain an adequate water level always. Check water level every day. 10 13 TREE CARE Check water levels twice per day in the first few days. A tree will absorb the most water after it is recently cut and placed in water. Make sure tree is displayed away from heat sources. Always check electrical devices like lights and other decorations before placing on the tree. Avoid spraying preservatives or fire retardants on tree. Some of these products actually increase moisture loss. The most fire-retardant tree is one that is properly watered. WREATHS THE FINISHING TOUCH. Hundreds of bow designs, sizes and styles of various colors are used in hand-crafted wreaths. Cones are used in different sizes and colored for distinction. Hundreds of ornaments may be added by the craftsman. Wreaths of various sizes are used in windows, single doors, double doors, barn doors, porches, walls, cemeteries and for ceremonial purposes. Many wreath-makers have expanded their product line to include a variety of “Evergreen Novelties” such as swags, kissing balls, stars, crosses, heart designs, centerpieces, mantelpieces and even mailbox huggies. 294 236 244 292 591 170 490 90 572 581 570 546 559 220 562 700 298 81 390 219 217 307 206 597 86 569 17 Hand-crafted wreaths are produced in sizes from 8 inches in diameter and sometimes are as large as 6 to 10 feet. 14 566 FEATURES: a.

PROPER SIZE - HEIGHT & WIDTH - A Christmas Tree should be sized to the ceiling height. Take into consideration the stand at the bottom and the ornament on top. Also, be guided by the amount of floor space available. TREE FULLNESS - Some like a very heavy, full tree. Others prefer a lighter tree with space between branches for easier decorating. Heavy decorations require stiffer branches. STORING - Keep the tree away from wind and sun with the butt submerged in water until you're ready to bring it into the home. TREE STAND - Good safety practices & true enjoyment depends on a modern stand that holds a minimum of one gallon of water or more for large trees. ALWAYS MAKE A FRESH CUT - Your tree is a living product & requires water the same as cut flowers. Before bringing the tree inside, make a fresh cut off the butt (bottom of trunk) about an inch long (this removes the portion that has been clogged by the tree sap healing over the cut.) INITIAL WATER - Be sure to use very warm water as the initial supply to enhance the tree's water circulation. Cold tap water may be used thereafter. HEAT SOURCES - Be sure to place the tree away from all heat sources such as, hot air vents, fireplaces, stoves, or direct sunlight. LIGHTS - Use only UL approved lights. Never overload your electric circuits. Never use or burn candles or any other flame-type decorations. (Miniature lights are very good because they stay cool, do not dry out the needles, and draw fewer amps.) WATER - Be sure to check the water supply regularly. A fresh tree may absorb a gallon of water the first 24 hours, and then a pint or more daily thereafter. Never allow the water to get below the cut end of the trunk! SIGNAGE Signs are your number one priority. Good signs draw more customers to your location than any other means of promotion. Keep the message simple. Use the words “Real Christmas Trees” and spell it out. Never use “Xmas Trees.” Place the most important words at the top of the sign using larger size letters. Don’t show prices on signs along the road. A high price will scare customers away; a low price gives them the impression you are selling poor quality trees. Be aware of local law regulations on placing signs on the roadside. Check the law in your community. Make arrangements with the owners before placing signs on private property. Offer a tree as payment, or some other service. 27 WE MUST GIVE CREDIT TO THE TRADITION OF CHRISTMAS AND THE REAL CHRISTMAS TREE! For instance, in 1996, 17,000 acres of traditional Christmas Trees were grown in New York State. They removed at least 2,125 tons of carbon & released approximately 5,740 tons of oxygen. That is a huge benefit from just one agricultural crop, and a good reason to use a farm-grown real live Christmas Tree each year! Studies show that one acre of 8-12 year old Christmas Trees produce nearly 1/2 ton of new bio-mass each year. This removes nearly 500 pounds of carbon (CO2) from the atmosphere. This freshens the air with about 1,000 pounds of oxygen. OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS: When chipped (recycled), the real tree can be burned as fuel, used as mulch, or composted, thus being used as a renewable resource of energy, stabilizing the soil to prevent erosion, or producing new soil & nutrients. Christmas Trees & limbs are used to provide fish habitat in ponds and used on beaches to control erosion. Farm fields of traditional Christmas Trees provide habitat for birds and wild animals. For the traditional holidays, branches are used for Wreaths, Swags and beautiful fragrant Centerpieces. Many New York Christmas Tree Farmers provide a traditional family outing by visiting the tree farm to harvest their own real tree & enjoying the fresh air & wildlife. CONVERSATION PIECES • Growing Christmas trees provide a habitat for wildlife. • Christmas Trees remove dust and pollen from the air. • 98 percent of all Christmas Trees are grown on farms. • You should never burn your Christmas Tree in the fireplace. It can contribute to creosote buildup. • Artificial trees will last for six years in your home, centuries in a landfill. • Christmas Trees can be recycled. • 2-3 seedlings are planted for every harvested Christmas Tree. • Acre of Christmas Trees provides the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people. • Young Christmas Trees produce more oxygen than older Christmas Trees, thus cutting of older trees is encouraged. 28
