Christmas Tree Boost Aids Ohio Market
In Wooster Ohio a research forester notes more than half of Ohio’s Christmas trees are imported and urges local growers to expand. James Brown of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center cites native white pine as the sole native variety while others can be grown with site selection. He warns expansion faces few growers but sees potential for income on land with proper management and suitable soils, noting Scotch pine is widely sold in the state and trees take 8 to 13 years to mature depending on species.
