Washington farmer grows Christmas trees on Olympic Peninsula
Fred Peste, a pioneer in Olympic Peninsula tree farming since 1923, now runs The Douglas Fir Christmas Tree Co. on a 20 000 acre spread. He oversees more than 300 000 trees shipped this season with sales around a quarter of a million dollars while facing frost damage risks and secret fertilizer formulas.
