Frost Hurts Christmas Trees In Western North Carolina
Fraser Fir Christmas trees were hurt by frost this May. Fortunately the damage was not everywhere; in fact, it was spotty. Most trees will recover but some of the smaller trees may be set back several years because the damage was more extensive, in that a larger portion of the tree was damaged. Fortunately this was not anywhere near the magnitude of damage that almost all growers in western North Carolina experienced in 2002.
Cool Springs Nursery was fortunately in an area where we experienced no damage. We are looking forward to a great 2009 season of Christmas trees.
