AGROS NAVIDAD IS A COMPANY THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY CHRISTMAS TREES AT A REASONABLE PRICE TO NATIONAL CONSUMERS.

Due to the lack of supply of Christmas Trees, quality and variety wise, Agros Navidad decided to start this business by carefully assessing the needs and potential of each piece of land in order to plant and grow Douglas Fir pine trees under the highest quality standards which would be able to compete with imported pine trees.

Agros Navidad makes use of cutting-edge technology both in its nurseries and growing of trees, reason why today it is the most important company at a national level that produces Douglas Fir type Christmas trees, which are sold by the major business chains.

Also, Agros Navidad allows people to visit our growing lands located in Valle de Bravo and Perote, to cut down their own tree, and at the same time enjoying a great experience since the site has playgrounds for children, ecotourism and food.

Why a natural tree?

Christmas trees growing has a positive impact on the surrounding environment in several ways. Each acre of Christmas trees used to produce the daily oxygen requirement for 18 people, with 500,000 acres (2000 square kilometers) would produce the amount of oxygen for 9 million people per day. Helps to stabilize the soil, protects water reserves and provides habitats for wild life species.Its growing helps to reduce carbon dioxide levels.
Artificial trees use nonrenewable resources like metal and plastic since its manufacturing involves energy expenses, chemical processes and waste generation. Christmas trees prevent the soil from eroding because when their roots, stabilizing themselves and so the soil. Besides providing stability to the soil, they nourish it and after being cut down, the roots and trunk rot. As the tree grows larger, its branches and leaves fall down and become organic matter which is also a nutrient for the soil.
The growing of Christmas trees also benefits animals, mainly birds, however other animals are indirectly benefited, because they feed themselves from other animals such as rodents living in trees or from the weed around the trees.

PROCESS

PRODUCTION

Being grown in certain lands, the Douglas Fir pine tree grows in a kind of soil with different conditions compared to other species, in Mexico we are able to grow these trees with the same quality conditions that other latitudes more to the north have. The growing of our Christmas trees in Valle de Bravo (State of México) and Perote (Veracruz) include Douglas Firs up to 2.5 m high.

The Douglas fir tree is coveted for its robust shape, fine and soft green needles. it releases a distinctive pine scent that lasts all Christmas season. It can be decorated and is able to withstand many Christmas lights if a well-lit tree is desired. In order to maintain the quality of our trees, Agros Navidad makes sure like we do in all of our plants and crops to include a series of specific nutrients in our

Christmas trees in order for them to succeed We make sure our soils have the right amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphur, boron, copper, chloride, manganese, molybdenum, iron and zinc, apart from controlling PH and have the right drainage.
