About CTRE
Our goal is to enhance collaborative research and the delivery of research-based information surrounding the sustainable production of conifers used by consumers for the celebration of the Christmas holiday. We provide a meeting venue for Christmas tree researchers, extension professionals and industry to gather from around the world and share their latest work.
Proceedings and newsletters from previous CTRE meetings can be found on the IUFRO site here.
We encourage researchers and extension professionals whose work includes any aspect of Christmas tree production to join us!
