Member P D I C
Christmas Tree Growers
Association and Marketing
Division of the State
Department of Agriculture
have teamed up again to
produce a directory of tree
growers that sell trees
wholesale to dealers and
groups wishing this seasonal
item.
Some 14 growers are listed
by county with a complete
description of the species,
sizes and quantity of trees
they have available for this
season’s cutting.
Locally-grown trees are
far fresher and tend to be of
higher quality than trees cut
earlier in locations hundreds
of miles away on huge tracts
where little personal at
tention can be given to them
as they are grown.
As a result, according to
MDA Marketing Specialist,
Rick Baker, who has com
piled the directory, the
Maryland-region trees
command a higher price at
retail because of their
freshness and quality. He
also says that growers with
trees to sell wholesale
usually sell them quickly, so
persons and groups in
terested in them should act
promptly to assure a supply.
Anyone interested in the
wholesale purchase of trees
may obtain a copy of the
directory by writing to
“Wholesale Trees’’,
