Christmas Tree Crop Looks Good Despite Dry Summer


South Shore Christmas tree growers are looking forward to perhaps one of their best crops in recent memory. They're assessing their woodlots and getting ready to begin shipping to market later in the fall. President of the Lunenburg County Christmas Tree Producers Association, Bruce Turner, says the dry conditions this summer had little impact on woodlots.

Turner says this is a busy time right now for growers as they shore-up their markets for the coming season.



More than 50-million dollars is generated annually by the Christmas tree industry here.
