About L&M Tree and Wreath

The Handel family started in the Christmas tree business in 1954 cutting wild balsam for markets in the Chicago area. Otto Handel planted his first Christmas trees in 1955 while he operated his Chrysler dealership in Stetsonville, WI. He was then joined by his sons, Gerald and Roger, and together they expanded both the Christmas tree and automobile business by adding additional land and the GM dealership in Medford, WI.

Today the family Christmas tree business has been passed down to Roger’s son, Doug, who continues to run the day to day operations with his partner Scott Mildbrand. Together they bring vast experience to help your organization succeed in retailing Christmas trees and wreaths.
