Hooray—or Sigh—depending on your point of view—December is upon us. With enough snow to get us in the mood and now warm enough to not keep us inside!

Lots of great publicity for NY growers —just through the Ithaca Journal! I’m sure there is more elsewhere! All Western Evergreens and Christmas Tree Farm: I like the picture of Don Griffing on the outside of the fence. Hmmm . . . Molyneaux’s Plantation and Tree Farm: Since it mentions ladybugs, I figure it counts as IPM!

OK—It’s not IPM either. But if you can’t sell ‘em, you won’t grow ‘em.

I’ll probably put this one in again when you all have more time to be reading emails and checking out Powerpoint videos. But just in case you have a minute now—a nice 3 powerpoint series from Pennsylvania on scouting through the growing season. Hope you have lots of customers coming in and trees going out! Have a great week!
