Family Car Transporting a Holiday Tree

Bringing home a freshly selected evergreen atop the family automobile marks the official start of seasonal celebrations for many households. Shown in a clean side profile, this station wagon carries an evergreen tree firmly tied to its upper roof rack. Mid-twentieth-century station wagons served as the ultimate long-distance family vehicles before modern SUVs became widespread.

Facts About Christmas Tree Farms and Transport

Evergreen trees grown on specialized tree farms take anywhere from seven to ten years to reach standard household height. Once harvested, farm workers wrap the branches tightly in soft netting so the tree can be safely secured to vehicle roof racks without damaging the needles. Transporting evergreen trees requires tying the trunk end facing forward toward the front bumper to prevent wind resistance from stripping branches.
