Vermont weather always has been joked about however,it is one of the main contributors to the "robust", lush green Balsam Fir and Fraser Fir Christmas trees produced here in the Green Mountain State.
Vermont weather does not really change much when you go year to year. Every year it rains a lot, snows a lot and frosts a lot. All the reasons why tremendous needle retention and color is exhibited by our Balsam Fir and Fraser Fir trees.
"It is not unusual for Vermont people to express themselves upon the changes of the weather in no measured terms. Its climate is sometimes styled the 'worst climate in the world,' when in reality it is the best. 'Live in New England and die of consumption at an early age; while Florida, and many other sections, are ten times more healthful,' was heard from the lips of a man lecturing in the Representative's hall at Montpelier. Yet this statement is very far from the truth. Of all the globe, there is no more healthful country than Vermont. Of all the globe, there is no place so sure of its usual harvest as Vermont. No p1ains are more fertile, and no valleys better watered; no crystal springs more enduring, and no breezes more health-giving, than those of this favored state."
