Prices are rising country-wide as the weather has recently taken a toll on Christmas trees.
“The last couple years, the supply has been tight depending on what area of the country you are in,” said Dull. “However, there has always ended up being enough trees for people, but sometimes people may have to choose a different size or species than they are used to.”
The top Christmas tree-producing states experienced prolonged weather extremes in the last 12 months.“They told us they would be increasing their wholesale prices between 5 and 15%,” Marsha Gray, executive director of the Real Christmas Tree Board. “But that may be more moderate than actually their input costs.”
Currently, 99% of the Golden State is under moderate drought, 85% under severe drought and over 40% under extreme drought, according to NOAA. The West spent the last 22 years in the worst drought in 1,200 years, a megadrought.
