Christmas tree industry

The Christmas tree industry involves the cultivation, harvesting, and sale of live coniferous trees, like fir, pine, and spruce, used as festive holiday decorations. Growers cultivate trees on farms for several years, managing irrigation and pruning to ensure quality. During the holiday season, trees are harvested, transported, and sold through retail outlets or direct sales. The industry supports economic activity, rural employment, and local businesses. Sustainable practices include growing trees in managed plantations and encouraging recycling and planting of new trees to reduce environmental impact.
