Tagging starts October first!
September 29, 2009 9:44 pm 2 CommentsThursday starts the first day of tagging field grown trees. You can tag the trees in the field from the first of October, until it is digging time. Tagging the trees in the field had been a tradition for over 25 years. I have had people drive from as far as San Diego. One year a computer software CEO flew in from Chicago to tag trees. Tagging begins when I open the gates at 8:00am (although people get here early and wait in their cars.) I usually open a little early. Also, I will have hot coffee and donuts until there all gone. If you do not make it on the first of October, that’s okay because I have plenty of trees to choose from. Traditionally, since it is the first available day to tag, it is quite busy. Remember you can tag trees any time until digging begins, which is usually from about mid January – mid April. I hope to see you soon! I also cut off some of the air – layered pines and placed them into 6 inch pots. I looked back on my blog and I originally did the air – layers in late May. That means that some of the air -layers rooted in only four months! I took pictures and will post them on the blog soon. George

Hello George!
I have a question, what exactly is tagging? I do not understand.

Tagging is when you mark a tree that is growing in the field. You mark the tree you want and come back in the spring to dig the tree out. George
