I spent the whole year filming what it takes to grow the perfect Christmas tree - culminating with an epic harvest of half a million trees in Oregon. Helicopter pilots race back and forth from fields to trucks like cow wranglers - hooking trees and dropping them with perfect aim into the bed of a truck. It's amazing!
