They pop the can open n check some trees for bugs. We’ve lost an entire shipment one year because of a beetle🤦🏻‍♂️ we’ve had some with fire or snow burns but no actual snow.

So the guy that ended up taking me under his wing had already been selling for 20 years, we’d rent some parking lot space at a shopping center. Set up our operation, sell trees, wrap up n come back in a year. Pricing is its own world. Most Other tree lots get “Home Depot” trees and sell them cheap cause they weren’t very nice(quality) we worked with a very well respected tree farmer out of Oregon and had a good relationship with him. We were known for having pricey trees, but the quality was unbeatable. As for harvesting, thats out of my wheelhouse

Between $100,000-$250,000(that was the best year we’ve ever had) Ultimately it depends on how many trees we can sell during the season. We’d start day after thanksgiving and go until the the trees are gone. I’ve only ever seen one year where we didn’t sell out. But we had already made profit for the season so it wasn’t a big deal. And back when I started I worked as a carpenter and was out of work at the time, after that I’d save me pto and take off work to sell trees. Now I have a small business I run year round.

Would love to work with you🤙 aloha

Main thing for me has been external factors effecting my schedule and pulling my attention to “put out fires”. I’m a solo owner/operator and My business is only a little over a year old, few months back my mom passed away and it was a long complicated process to get her body/arrange service and I had to focus a majority of my time n efforts on all that. Did my best to keep up with clients and services, eventually the funeral happened and I was behind on work and had to rebuild my client base. It’s been a journey for sure, but I love what I do and I’m pretty good at it. Head down n back to work. Aloha
