Abstract:
North Carolina farmers are expected to harvest a record of 1.4 million Christmas trees for sale this season. Christmas trees grown in North Carolina consist primarily of four native species, which include Fraser fir, white pine, Virginia pine and Eastern red cedar. Trees are being produced as a “cut your own” practice on tree farms, as a conservation measure, and as an export to other states.
