Abstract:

There is green, bushy gold in the North Carolina mountains, estimated to be a $60 million business nationally and $15 million for the state. As of yet, North Carolina has not tapped the potential market in Christmas trees, but there are over 300 growers in the state, representing a 100% increase in the past four years. Thousands of Fraser firs, white pines, red cedars, and other species are being planted this spring to reap the returns come winter.
