| The Castanheiras
Farm was expropriated by the Municipality of Sao
Paulo in December 2024, with the purpose of turning
it into a Public Park in the future. Its website
remains accessible to the public, presenting its
full history since 1942. However, commercial activities were discontinued since early 2025. |

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 - 20 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.
