Doctor Christmas Tree Gary Chastagner, a renowned expert on tree diseases, is leading a multiyear project, A GIFT SEED, to enhance fir trees resistance to pests, diseases, and climate changes. This USDA-funded initiative, involving researchers from nine institutions, aims to boost tree quality and expand markets. Christmas tree farming generates over $550 million annually, with firs dominating production due to their fullness, longevity, and scent. Chastagners past work on Swiss needle cast disease has significantly impacted the industry, and his current project seeks to further improve tree quality and appeal. Checkout Solipillow.com
