If you’re on the hunt for the perfect real Christmas tree this season, you can relax—there’s plenty to go around! Growers across the U.S. are reporting strong supplies, so you’ll have no trouble finding a tree that fits your holiday vibe.
Marsha Gray, the executive director of the Real Christmas Tree Board, assures shoppers that there will be a wide selection available, no matter when or where you shop. After a busy weekend of sales, retailers are ready to meet the demand.
Good news on prices too! Most growers surveyed earlier this year said they won’t raise wholesale prices, and some might even lower them. Last year, 98% of shoppers found a tree they loved, and it looks like that trend will continue this season.
Tyler Stone, who runs a tree farm in Oregon, is excited about the upcoming holidays. He says the supply of real Christmas trees is excellent, and he’s hearing the same from other growers. He loves knowing that his trees will bring joy to families across the country.
When you’re picking out your tree, keep a few tips in mind: measure your ceiling height, ask for a fresh cut on the trunk, and remember to water it regularly. Shaking the tree to remove loose needles before bringing it home is also a good idea.
Choosing a real tree is about more than just tradition; it’s an experience. Families enjoy the joy of finding the perfect tree together. After the holidays, remember that real trees can be recycled or composted, making them eco-friendly too.
You can find real Christmas trees at local farms, seasonal lots, garden centers, and major retailers. For care tips and a retailer locator, check out RealChristmasTrees.com. Happy tree hunting!
