We had to plant more Christmas tree seedlings because we had heavy losses among our fir trees this past summer due to the drought.

The christmas trees planted today are 2-0 greenhouse plugs including 100/each of Norway Spruce, Concolor Fir, and Canaan Fir trees.

With this planting, we're trying several different tactics in hopes that we'll have better survival rates with this batch of tree seedlings:
1) We're using a subsoiler to dig deeper into the soil and to break up the hard clay that's just under the top soil.
2) The tree seedlings are dipped in planting gel which helps with moisture retention and also give nutrients to helps the roots grow
3) Fertilizer tablets are put in the ground near the seedling with hopes they'll feed the trees for the next 18-24 months.
4) For this planting, we're trying greenhouse plugs, which retain their soil from the greenhouse. We hope this helps with higher survival rates. Time will tell!

We're also impressed and pleased with the #teamtrees effort in response to MrBeast reaching 20 million subscribers. We encourage you to go to https://teamtrees.org/ and consider donating to help plant 20 million trees all over the world by 2020.
