Hensler Nursery To Present Statehouse With 26-Foot Tree

Story featured on WKVI, Knox, IN

“A 26-foot Concolor Fir growing at Hensler Nursery in Hamlet will be cut down for Indiana’s Statehouse Rotunda tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

This tree will be placed on a trailer for transport to Indianapolis and will be on display at Hensler’s over the weekend. The tree will be presented to the Governor on Wednesday, Dec. 12 in the Governor’s office at 9 a.m. ET.

Hensler Nursery has provided Indiana’s Statehouse Christmas tree for the past 25 years.

Hensler’s Statehouse tree will not be the only tree headed to Indianapolis. An eight foot Fir tree will be cut down, transported and placed in the Lt. Governor’s office. This is part of a larger project conducted by the Indiana’s Christmas Tree Growers Association to bring fresh live Christmas trees to the heart of Indiana’s government.

Indiana’s growers will be providing fresh trees to the Governor, the Department of Education, Department of Forestry, Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture.”

WSBT Holiday Shoppe Story

WSBT News came out to Hensler’s to film a segment for their Holiday Shoppe Series. They did a wonderful job of showing what it’s like to select and cut your own Christmas tree. And they didn’t forget one of the best parts- shake and bail before you load the tree onto your car!
