Part of a collection of tools and equipment used on Christmas trees farms or lease holdings used for the cultivation of evergreen trees to be marketed for this purpose. The production of Christmas trees [and associated products, such as wreaths] is a significant farming activity occurring in all provinces across Canada. With the exception of Alberta, Manitoba and Newfoundland each province has an association representing Christmas tree producers. Until the 1950s most trees harvested in Canada were cut in forests; since that time, trees have been grown on specially developed plantations or planted and then harvested from clear cuts. [Ref. 2] - Function
-
Container in which multiple plants can be grown until a sufficient root system develops for the plant to be transplanted. - Technical
-
Seedling trays were used to grow coniferous seedlings. The plastic trays contain multiple pots, in each of which a seedling is planted so it can develop a sufficient root system to be transplanted in the field. Small seedlings are raised in temporary greenhouses and then transplanted either in tree lots or in areas cut over by pulp and paper companies. [Ref. 1] - Area Notes
