The Real Christmas Tree Board reported in a news release that in 2024 there will be a real Christmas tree for everyone who wants one. For the third year in a row, those who “grow and know” project sales will be steady and that wholesale prices will be flat.
While there was a shortage of trees for a number of years due to the pandemic, this year 20 % of those responding to the research being done by the Real Christmas Tree Board anticipate selling more trees than they did in the preceding year.
Despite concerns about the possibility of reduced consumer spending due to inflation, Marsha Grey, Executive Director of the Real Christmas Tree Board, believes that the industry is both resilient and consistent.
“We meet demand,” she said. “We sell what we harvest. And we keep planning a decade ahead.”
Just like last year, most of those wanting to buy a real Christmas tree will find one at the first place they go looking for a tree. The number of people buying a real tree for the first time is also expected to increase this year.
“Getting a real Christmas tree provides the memory-making experience that parents are looking for,” said Gray. “Plus, they get to enjoy the wonderful real Christmas tree scent that is a top reason first-time-buyers say they’ll go real this year.”
