Tree Farming Work

By George Dodson


A tree farm is an ideal way for someone who loves to work outdoors to make a living. Trees are a profitable natural and renewable resource. Trees can be grown for the holidays, for landscaping and for lumber. Your tree farm can focus on a certain type of trees, or if you want something diverse- grow some hybrids. Patience is a virtue when it comes to tree farming jobs; it will surely take many years for a tree to mature.

Reserve or buy a piece of land to plant your trees. If you own a farm with a large plot of land on which to plant your trees, this will not be a problem. However, if you need land, talk to local farmers and find a plot to purchase or lease.

Determining the kind of trees you will plant through the net can be helpful. You must study the growth mechanism of the trees; that includes the distance between two trees and time of harvest. Trees grown for cutting down (such as holiday or lumber trees) will be easier to place than trees you will eventually dig up. When planting for trees that needs digging, leaving enough space is a good choice.

Getting in touch with your local forestry office will be for your advantage; they will help you in determining the kind of trees to plant. They can also help you write and maintain a plan for your farm. Your plan will give you a guideline for proper management of your potential forest. Drainage system and conservation efforts are included in this plan.

You can the now plant your trees. Once you've decided what type of trees to grow, you will need to plant them. Plant them and purposely leave enough space for them to grow properly and can be harvested without harming the neighboring trees.

Regulating the growth of the weeds around the trees is a must. The weeds will rival the young tree in sucking the nutrients. Trees must be mulched every now and then to maintain the moisture of its roots.

Brace yourself and join the market of trees. Strategize the marketing of your trees; you can create a website to expose their beauty online or directly contact landscapers to buy from you. Making some promotional tactics such as making a sleigh, will help your holiday trees to be sold-out.
