Oregon Evergreen and Willamette
Evergreen are all about Christmas Trees, and
have years of experience selling them wholesale. We are an experienced shipper of Christmas Trees
all over the great USA and worldwide. Because of this
experience, we've learned how best to process and package our
trees to ensure customer satisfaction with our Christmas trees.

2004 First Harvest
These are the trees ready for harvesting
this season. We've grown these trees for the past 6 years.
Aren't they beautiful?
|
 |
Can you hear the chainsaws choking into
action? Trees are carefully picked for harvesting.
They are then stacked carefully before going through a twine
baler.
|
 |
This is what a tree being processed
through the baler looks like. All precautions are taken to
ensure a healthy, good looking tree is shipped to you.
We're all successful when the end customer is happy with their
purchase. |
 |
This is what the trees look like after being
wrapped in twine. The wrapping will keep the tree
protected, and make for easier loading into Matson (or other)
containers. |
 |
Our employees put the twine wrapped trees
onto a cart for transport from the tree fields. We have
many fields where harvesting takes place. |
 |
Here is a loaded cart. The trick is
for us to keep all of our trees off the muddy ground. This
cart will be pulled to the loading area, where trees are put in
Matson containers. |
 |
Here is a picture of one loading area before
any trucks have arrived. When the trucks start arriving,
it looks very chaotic, but its a controlled chaos. This is
where our years of experience really pay off. |
 |
Here is the twine baled trees being loaded
with the help of a loading belt. The process of loading a
40 ft container takes 3 hours. |
|
This is our first week of harvesting for the
2004 season, the first week of November. This container,
once loaded will be trucked to a railroad yard where it will be
taken by rail across the US mainland to Jacksonville, Florida.
It should arrive in time to catch a vessel bound overseas. We are almost
finished for the 1st week. Now its time to turn our
attention to the 2nd and 3rd weeks, bringing in Matson
containers and harvesting trees for our Hawaii customers.
