"We are encouraged by the fact that three times as many Real Christmas Trees will be purchased as fake trees," said Beth Walterscheidt, President-Elect of NCTA and chairman of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation. "If consumers follow through with these intentions, we'll see about the same number of Christmas Trees sold as last year."

Displaying a live and living Christmas tree perks up the season plus provides a tree for your yard. There are quite a number of people who really hate to buy a tree then turn around and just throw it away. But on a more personal note, some Christmas celebrations are important enough to commemorate by planting the tree that was an intimate part of a special Christmas. To some people, they are all special and important!

Fresh Real Christmas Trees may be purchased from either retail lots or Choose & Cut farms. When purchasing a cut tree, the freshness depends upon the care the trees have received. Pay attention to the manner in which trees are stored and displayed. For example, are they stored under shade, displayed standing in water or misted at night? If so, the lot operator is working hard to keep the trees fresh as possible. This is important in warmer climates.

In the early days most Christmas trees came from the dense American forests. But as millions of trees were being cut down every year environmental concerns grew. Today almost all Christmas trees come from organized farms or controlled forests. The majority of the trees sold nationwide and even overseas are from Oregon. Other major states for Christmas trees include North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Washington. Almost all real Christmas trees are from the United States whereas 85% of artificial Christmas trees are manufactured in China.

Real Christmas trees provide wildlife habitat, control soil erosion and add immense aesthetic beauty to the landscape. Plus, each acre of real Christmas trees consumes carbon dioxide while providing the annual oxygen requirements for 18 people. Real Christmas trees are 100% biodegradable. After the holidays, many communities collect the trees and make them into a landscaping mulch and other biodegradable uses.

With the holidays quickly approaching, its time to start focusing on items for the Christmas tree, especially Christmas tree skirts. Every year the stores begin stocking decorations and supplies for Christmas a little earlier, sometimes before autumn really begins. The stores are full of items to make every tree look unique, and to match with any decor. The same holds true for Christmas tree skirt.
