It’s no secret that Christmas trees are a big part of the agricultural landscape of North Carolina. So big in fact that North Carolina is No. 2 in the nation in Christmas tree production. The only state in the nation that produces more trees than North Carolina is Oregon. We grow so many trees that nearly one in five real Christmas trees purchased in the United States can be traced back to a farm in North Carolina. There are over 40,000 acres of Christmas trees in North Carolina, and over 4 million trees cut here and sold every year! During the pandemic, supporting local agriculture is as important as ever!
