Commercial harvesters of noble fir boughs on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest are required to trim only the lower branches to assure that the trees survive. Nobles thrive on high-elevation plantations where the forest canopy has not yet closed. The boughs, harvested in October for holiday wreaths and other decorations, are popular with florists and provide a cash crop for the forest that was worth $460,000 last year
