Christmas in disguise.
Cultivation of spruce trees in Denmark that’s a very big niche production
primarily for christmas trees and secondarily as decorative greenery
for many danish agriculture this is the main production
large majority is exported, it happens in november and early december
and it is mainly to Germany which imports really many danish christmas trees.
The production of spruce trees is one of the more slower production in agriculture
it applies to all species – red spruce, fir, norway spruce, pine or whatever they called
characteristic of most danish spruce is that they are relatively small
while in the norwegian and swedish forests mainly grow large pines for timber.
These danish spruces was planted in the late spring of this year hiding in the soft weeds
that they will do the next year or 2 – before they “skyrocketing” a number of years
after 7-8 years. so is the christmas trees ready for jingle bells and colored glass balls.
But just at the moment it’s hard to see.

Hopes you’re all right… ‘smile’
Good post! I didn’t know Denmark was a large producer of Christmas/evergreen trees.
#.judy
Thanks – there will be producing about 1½ million christmas trees and about 8,000 tons greenery in Denmark each year – seen from the size of the country, it’s pretty impressive… 🙂
Wow! Here we don’t buy real Christmas trees because the weather conditions do not fit so we just have to use the artificial ones. But I’d love to use a real one one day!

The tree will also fast losing its needles – alone during transport would be hard on the tree – but it could be done… ‘smile’
Really like your blog content! Keep up the nice work man!

It is a slow process to make christmas trees, and from the start of they don’t look impressive – but suddenly things happens… 🙂
Denmark imports and exports really much from / to Germany and Norway – it’s great – for both countries means a lot to danish consumers and danish producers… 🙂
Very interesting post – there is a forest in the South of England called the New Forest and every year a little bit of it gets chipped away (unofficially).
#.richard guest
Thanks Richard, really appreciates… 🙂
Maybe that forest never would get old… ‘smile’
I know a family in Denmark, they have a small “christmas tree” in their garden – every year they dig the tree up (with roots intact) and take into the house – after christmas so the plants it out in the garden again – it have work out well for 7-8 years now… ‘hahaha’
Interesting read. You are fine? Bye
#.orofiorentino
Thanks, really appreciates… 🙂
Yeah I’m fine hope you fine too… 😉
Hahaha, Drake, those christmas trees are quite hard to see.. 😉 And believe it or not, Norway are covered with forests, and still we import a lot of christmas trees from Denmark… 😉
#.bente haarstad
‘hahaha’ – You’re right they are quite hard to see at the moment – the farmer is an old school friend, I teased him that he cultivated weeds – he said they would probably be great in 4-5 years… 🙂
Between norweigians and danes size doesn’t matter – you make the large ones and we make the smaller… 😉
The christmas trees which are being lined up before christmas in most of the danish town squares – they are very large and usually they’ll come from the norwegian forests (or swedish forests)… 🙂
Really, norwegian trees sold in Denmark!?
“Between norweigians and danes size doesn’t matter – you make the large ones and we make the smaller… ;-)” Thats a good one, Drake! 😉
Yes most of the very big christmas trees at city squares, they are from Norway and the rest from Sweden – the danish trees at that size isn’t beautiful enough… 😉
How interesting! We don’t have any to speak of!

In the very old days in Denmark, so it was beech, oak and willow – which was most widespread in the danish countryside – but it has changed… 🙂
