The Reserve was originated within a traditional ‘’Tree-farm" - (138 Hectars-355 Acres) “Fazenda Castanheiras’’,33 Kms from downtown São Paulo, the world second-largest-city - 22 million population - altitude 780 meters above sea level. Mr. Hans
Hering, since the decade of 1920 was the washing machines
distributor for Brazil. In
1942 he started restoring a forest which had
been previously submitted to clear cut in the
outskirts of S. Paulo. That originated also this
Christmas Tree Farm.
Since
1948, during 75 years Edwin William
Hering (now semi-retired), has grown Christmas
Trees on this property, particularly the
"China-fir" Cunninghamia Lanceolata
the most “exclusive” Christmas tree then
available in Sao Paulo.
