The process is amazing.
First (and here's the obvious one) they grow the trees.
Next, they cut them down and put them into bundles.
Then, because those bundles are so massive, they bring in...
He flies in, is attached to a bundle, turns, and flies back for the drop into a truck. The whole process takes approximately 1 minute.
Helicopter rental: $750 per hour. Roughly 1000 trees are lifted per hour. Trees are wholesaled at $25 each, and sold to the consumer for more than that. It costs the grower roughly $.97 per tree to harvest.
We watch the whole process out the front window for free.
The helicopter was close enough this year for the children to wave and have him wave back.
And one more shot with Mt. Jefferson in the background.
Now. The day after Thanksgiving, start your search for the perfect Christmas Tree... buy Oregon. Search Salem. We watched them get harvested just for you.
