Tree Plants To Increase In NE Kansas
Tree planting has increased in northeast Kansas especially fruit and pine trees. The extension service in Manhattan received a shipment of trees with evergreens in cold storage. Pine trees can be grown on well drained soils and planted from March to May. Scottish and Austrian pines are preferred for Christmas trees which take five to seven years to reach 5 to 6 feet. A beginner should plant 500 to 2,000 trees the first year and space them six feet apart in rows. A Kansas tree growers association was organized in 1965 and joining it is advised for Christmas tree knowledge.
