Christmas Tree Specialist, Jay Woodworth visited a NS plantation. Most of Nova Scotia’s Christmas trees are grown via natural regeneration so seeing this plantation style is a bit different, though it’s common in the states. These trees are balsam fir, which is the main species produced in NS. Our Christmas Tree Specialist is funded by the Christmas Tree Council of Nova Scotia.
The tree fruit industry in Nova Scotia again had great participation at the International Fruit Tree Association annual conference. Just look at these 10 participants! Also congratulations to Cassian Ferlatte, Ryan Fuller and Jeffrey Walsh for being recipients of the 2020 IFTA Young Professional Scholarships! These young growers were awarded 3 out of 9 young professional scholarships at this international conference and certainly made Nova Scotia proud.
