Giant Christmas trees bring big business to western Maryland
On Stacy’s farm in Swanton, a crane and 14 workers cut down granddaddy size trees, priced from 2000 to 7000 dollars. Since 1979 he sold about 75 trees over 35 feet, but he's exiting the big tree market to focus on trees 25 feet and under, citing labor, safety rules, and a tighter market as factors.
