I have planned to purchase land to start a small tree farm, the
success with planting a few trees on my vacation spot in Minnesota has
sparked my intrest. The plans for the land purchase may not pan out
again this year. I would like to at least do some container trees this
spring. My tree choices would be Colo. Blue Spruce and Balsam Fir. The
trees would be for resale or donations, and I would think it would be a
good test to see if I am farm worthy. I understand some of the
drawbacks of container trees and the fact of the cold winter. My
questions would be what kind of soil would be best, fertilizers, and
any other tips for container pines.
