Two Tree Farmers

Neil Krueger and Shawn Schottler

To answer some of our questions about Christmas trees, we decided to connect with some experts. Tree farmers Neil Krueger (from Kreuger’s Christmas Tree Farm) and Shawn Schottler (from St. Croix Valley Trees and the Science Museum of Minnesota) join us to discuss growing and maintaining Christmas Trees, the sustainability of the industry, and even how to keep your Christmas Tree lasting longer. Make sure to listen to the end where our guests propose a question that science educators can ask their students!  Record their answers and submit them to brian@laboutloud.com, and your students might be featured on a future show!
