When opting for a live Christmas tree, it’s wise to plan ahead and explore the offerings from these trusted growers and suppliers. Last year, the median price for trees bought directly from a grower averaged around $93, according to PickYourOwnChristmasTree.org. The survey by the American Christmas Tree Association revealed that, out of the 94 percent of Americans planning to decorate a Christmas tree, 23 percent prefer a live tree.
Live tree prices experienced a modest increase of about 10 percent last year, attributed to inflation and drought conditions. The effects of extreme weather, ranging from drought to excess moisture, are anticipated to result in slightly higher Christmas tree prices for 2023, as reported by Country Folks Grower, a publication serving fresh market and ornamental crops.
Despite challenges, approximately 350 million Christmas trees are growing on farms across the country. Typically taking six to eight years to reach ideal decorating height, larger trees (7 feet and taller) may see limited availability due to increased demand for smaller trees in recent years. Additionally, consumers might explore different tree species due to varying availability.
Embrace the joy of selecting the centerpiece of your holiday celebrations by visiting these local tree providers. Whether it’s the scent, the tradition, or the festive ambiance, a live Christmas tree from Cherry Hill promises to make your holiday season truly magical.
