O Tannenbaum! words and IMAGEs Dwain Hebda
Finding your way to Pine Grove Christmas Tree Farm isn’t particularly difficult, especially accompanied by the surrounding mountain scenery, beautiful at any time of year. But turning onto Yocum Street off Arkansas Highway 22 right outside of Charleston, the entrance to the place, you suddenly face a steep dilly of a hill, the kind that juts your windshield to the sky and makes you feel like you’re going up and over the lip of the world. As your vehicle levels, it’s as if a curtain is raised on a spot frozen in time and season. Down a lane and around a bend, you take in the picturesque tree farm, its strident rows of pine and cedar spinachgreen against a straw-colored fade of winter grass. Each tree, nurtured and manicured to perfection, seems more radiant than the last.
