Far Trees by the Million Cut in Maine
Nearly one million sapling fir trees up to twenty feet tall are slated for shipment this fall from Maine. Contractors and dealers plan to harvest over 4,900 acres of woodland employing 800+ workers, with Maine’s economy gaining around $100,000. Prices vary from 3-4 cents for small trees to 25-40 cents for larger ones, then rising as Christmas approaches. The balsam fir is praised as a poor wood, while fir clearings enable plowing lands to revitalize overgrown fields.
