Nova Scotia Christmas Tree Information

For today’s Christmas tree growers and consumers, there is a lot more involved than cutting or buying the tree!

Developed for Christmas tree growers, customers as well as the general public, this site provides helpful information on cultural practices, pest and nutrient management, tips on caring for trees, and some history on the Christmas tree industry in Nova Scotia.

You may find information on courses in Christmas tree shearing, Pesticide Application Certification, field days and workshops.

Information on the selection of the annual Boston Christmas tree is also available.
