Christmas tree production in the United States is a thriving industry, with several states leading the way in cultivating these iconic symbols of the holiday season. Oregon stands out as the top producer, with over 4.7 million Christmas trees harvested annually, generating significant revenue upwards of $120 million.

This depends on what you're looking for in a Christmas tree. If you want it to last, the fraser fir is known to be the longest-lasting among all the Christmas tree species.

Usually, no more than 600 to 800 trees fit on a full-size tractor trailer. Most farms load dozens of trucks but larger farms may load hundreds in the space of two to three weeks.

Christmas trees are planted in the spring, trimmed in the summer, and harvested in the winter. According to Christmas tree grower Gregory Bartels, you can plant about 1,500 trees per acre.
