The rows of trees at Quail Call reflect this change in buying habits. Keim has some Scotch pine, Colorado blue spruce and Fraser fir but most are white pines.
Adaptability to Piedmont Virginia’s environment has also played a part in the selection of trees raised at Quail Call. According to Keim, Scotch pines planted as seedlings have only a 50 per cent survival rate and of the half that lives, only 35 per cent grow into good trees. White pines, on the other hand, have a survival rate of about 90 per cent and practically all turn into trees perfect for Christmas decorating, Keim said.
In addition, firs and spruce take twice as long as pines to reach cutting size with spruce the most labor intensive of all the varieties at Quail Call.
