Abstract

According to the 1964 estimate, about 2,133,000 Christmas trees were harvested in the South. About 70 percent of these consisted of redcedars; most of them were produced on private land holdings. About 65 and 33 percent of the trees were cut from naturally and artificially established stands, respectively; about 12.5 percent were sheared. Christmas tree plantations of the South occupy about 7,500 acres.
