Transplants
It takes 14 years for a seed in a fir cone to grow into a decent Christmas tree touching the ceiling.
Our Christmas trees spend their first four years in the plant nursery where they have to show that they are able to cope with the rough climate in the Eifel including a cold winter, late frost during spring and only some rain during the summer.
In the end only half of the trees in the plant nursery will become a Christmas tree. Such a natural selection helps us to reduce the number of losses in later years.
At the Tannenhof approximately 400.000 Nordmann transplants wait to be planted by us or some other Christmas tree farmers in order to become a Christmas tree.
