WNC Christmas tree sales are moving at a brisk pace for local growers due to heavy demand throughout the United States for the locally grown trees.
North Carolina growers produce over twenty percent of real Christmas trees in the United States. Local growers provide national demand with approximately 37 million trees growing on over 32,000 acres. Our tree industry is ranked second in the nation, behind Oregon.
Most people are unaware about how much effort is put into each Christmas tree. For example, it takes as long as twelve years to grow a tree to an average retail height of 6-7 feet. The average 6-7 foot Fraser fir Christmas tree has been visited by the grower more than 100 times during its life.
So don’t wait to take advantage of the unique offerings that our North Carolina Christmas tree farmers provide! Visit www.ncfarmfresh.com to view farm and roadside stands which provide real Christmas trees throughout the state.
Some popular local spots include Boyd Mountain Christmas Tree Farm, Frosty Mountain Christmas Trees, Tom Sawyer Christmas Tree Farm, and Cartner Christmas Tree Farm.
