2022 CHRISTMAS TREE SHORTAGE

There is currently a nation-wide shortage of real Christmas trees. The main cause is the lack of trees planted 6 to 10 years ago.  It takes about 8 years to grow a tree from a seedling. Ten to 14 years ago there was a surplus of Christmas trees which caused many tree farms to go out of business. Therefore, fewer seedling were put in the field. The supply should be sightly better next year. . 

GOOD NEWS:
OUR 2022 SUPPLY

We have many more pre-cut trees this year in spite of the ongoing tree shortage!  We buy our firs from friends who own Christmas tree farms near Mountain City and Roan Mountain, Tennessee.  In 2022 we also brought Douglas fir trees in from Oregon. 

FIR TREES

Unfortunately, we will not have any “table top” (2- to 4-ft tall) Fraser firs this year. 

Our supply of 6- to 8.5-foot fir trees is much better than in 2020!

PAYMENT METHODS

We offer contactless payment and accept the following payment methods: 

~ Credit/Debit Card
~ Cash
~ Local checks

PRICES

Our tree prices vary by height as well as by the quality (appearance).  For example, a 7 1/2-foot tree (the preferred height for an 8-foot ceiling) will be $55, $65, $75, or $90, depending on the three factors mentioned above. Our largest trees are individually priced. We have pricing sheets available at the Welcome Center. Gift shop goods have pricing signs and labels.
