With Thanksgiving behind us, it is time to pick the perfect Christmas tree, and farmers say the sooner you do your tree hunting, the better.
Those who want a real tree will be able to get one, but finding one a few days before Christmas might take a little bit more time.
What will we pay for a tree this year compared to last?
“We do think prices will be a little higher, maybe 5 to 10 percent,” said the National Christmas Tree Association’s Tim O’Connor.
O’Connor says supplies are tight this year and waiting too long to find a tree could be problematic. The Association says like all other producers, they are battling high input costs, with prices to ship those trees up as well.
