    Why are Christmas trees harvested by helicopter? And what does cutting them down mean for the environment versus an artificial tree? I spent an entire year filming the life cycle of a Christmas tree to find out how they grow.
    This episode is made possible by The Christmas Tree Promotion Board: itschristmaskeepitreal.com/
    Huge thanks also to Noble Mountain Tree Farm, Pine Valley Christmas Trees and Chris Cresci.

    Growing up, my Mom and Dad would buy a Christmas tree with the roots intact. They would always buy a Balsam Fir except for that one year they bought a Blue Spruce. Around January 6, we would plant it next to the tree from the Christmas before. Needless to say, we have a lot of Pine trees on our property and the scent of Balsam Fir is amazing.

      Yeah and using trucks and helicopters every year sure is great for the air too. No tree is better but I bet a fake tree that lasts 10 years is better than 10 years of real trees and all the waste that goes along with them.

      @@justjaxie No... No... Just fucking no. The higher burning efficiency, the cleaner it will be. Gas has the best record, follow by oil, coal and mud coal... The most horrible one is wood, it turn into smoke with micro carbon particles and CO instead of pure CO2. Equally environmentally bad, extremely harmful for human health on high doses.

    You did a really nice job on this video! You have a wonderful presence and put the story together really well. Thank you. I enjoyed watching you. My dad was one of the founders/owners of this farm. He just sold it and is now happily retired. My grandfather started the family business with a Silver tip tree ranch in the 30s but those trees grew in the forest. My dad's farm was set up to grow more efficiently. It is really thrilling to stand on the top of the mountain and hear and see a helicopter fly up from below and snag a bundle of trees in one action. The guys on the ground have to really be on their game so no one gets hurt. My dad is why you can buy Christmas trees at grocery stores, Walmart, Target and Home Depot. He convinced stores they should sell trees and they did. He kept those markets throughout his long career. Real trees are better for the environment. The growers replant every year, so it is a nice cycle. My dad, Gary Bishop, is really smart and creative. He built a wonderful sustainable business, and showed others how to do it. Thank you for sharing the story of how so many people come together so we can have real trees in our homes for Christmas...and how real trees help the environment.

    I was having a bad year in 1974, not as bad as Nixon but I digress. I didn't have money for anything, someone gave me a Weeping Fig tree for Christmas. 15 years ago it looked like it did not have long so planted a few Scotch Pine, 5 years later I realized they may get too big to fit in the house when needed so I planted a few Virginia Pine. Next year I thought Canaan Fir might be nice so planted a few more. Next came Fraser Fir and so on. Today it's just me and the Fig inside looking out at over 50 wannabe Christmas Trees.
