So Garland is... you have two big wires.
You're going to have a big wire And a smaller wire that comes underneath and wraps your boughs around it.
So you're cutting boughs.
About this size.
1987 we planted before seedlings here on the property.
I'm a second generation tree farmer that's been part.
Of my life since I was six.
I was lucky enough to marry this man and marry into the tree farm about 12 years ago.
Definitely have an environmental focus.
So for every tree we cut down, we're planning two more seedlings every spring and we kind of we try to operate with the leave no trace behind.
So everything that gets cut, we're using every branch, every needle, everything we can is some products that we are making to reduce our impact and to help the area that we're living in.
What do you have to do to take care of.
Our tree and water and water?
Water water water water!
So many times a day.
And to have it stand up is you put it in a pot.
