Driven by Passion
The story of Arbre Joyeux began in 1975 with a forestry engineer driven by a passion for Christmas trees. Following the completion of his thesis on Christmas tree cultivation, Renald Gilbert chose to bring his expertise to life on his family’s land in Ste-Clotilde, located in Quebec’s Beauce region. While working for a paper mill in Baie-Comeau on the North Shore, Mr. Gilbert devoted countless weekends to the fields alongside his brothers, laying the foundation for what would become Arbre Joyeux.
