farm</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hello everyone,</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The City of Montreal operates a 68 ha
tree farm which currently has 70 000 trees under various stages of production.
It is located 40 km from the town centre. The farm provides most
of the trees for our different street planting projects. Does anyone know of
another major Canadian city that runs a similar operation? I'm especially
interested in knowing the size (ha) of the farm and production capacity.
All information is welcomed! Thank you.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
