Raising Christmas Trees

The sale of natural Christmas trees is a multi-million dollar business in the United States. Each year about one third of American homes have a natural Christmas tree in their home during the Christmas holidays.

Many Christmas trees are grown on family farms as a small business. Some are grown on large farms and shipped all over the country. Christmas trees are grown in many states across the US and many different species of conifers are used for Christmas trees. Growing a quality Christmas tree takes years and hard work. Growers plant, shear, control pests and more to produce quality trees.
