Larry Smith is a Christmas tree grower in the tiny North Carolina town of Newland, population about 700. It sounds like an easy job -- plant a tree, come back and cut it a few years later, get paid. Not so fast. They don’t just have that shape and lushness by accident -- each tree gets constant attention. By the time it reaches your home, it has been cared for and shaped well over 100 times as it grew. In this bonus scene, Larry talks about what a task that is -- and what joy it gives him and other growers to know they’re part of so many special family memories. Tune into the RFD-TV Network Friday at 9:30 p.m. Eastern and 12:30 a.m. to see how they spend their lives to brighten up your home just once a year.
