This year, 60,000 Christmas trees are being shipped from Wiepkenhagen. Frank Lindner and his eight-person team have grown them, trimmed them and trimmed the tops themselves. A fir tree that is to become a Christmas tree spends an average of eight years in the Christmas tree nursery before it is big enough to move into a living room. Frank Lindner is here and then gone again. Like a slalom runner, he moves at great speed through the fir forest on the B 105. Everything is decided in September and October. Have eight long years of growth been worth it for the conifers? Are the tops straight and the branches distributed correctly? The head of the tree nursery has a total of 21 label varieties in his luggage for classification into different beauty categories. He has seen every Nordmann fir and every spruce that goes on sale at least once and has classified them into a class. A lot of work with 60,000 trees going on sale this year. Since 1991, not only the fir trees have grown, but also his team. His wife Carola Voigt and his father as well as the Polish employees all take care of growth and sales. They hope for good business after mixed Corona years. ________________________________________ The farm stories on ndr.de https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendunge...
