Full-grown Christmas trees are difficult to source at a competitive price this season, in part because of heat events and drought in the Pacific Northwest. Tree farmers are facing a shortage due to the loss of seedlings and adult trees. Customers are finding it harder to find the perfect tree.
Full-grown Christmas trees are difficult to source at a competitive price this season, in part because heat events and drought in the last few years have killed seedlings and adult trees in the Pacific Northwest . There are also fewer tree farmers , meaning those hunting for the perfect tree may have a hard time this year. Tree farm customers Amy and Ram Nathu and their three kids showed up at Red Truck's tree lot in South Surrey, B.C., ready to pick out the perfect tree to cut down.
They expected to pay about $100 for the tree, but according to Amy, it's worth it. "A real tree is our number one tradition," she said. Their daughter, Roxy, 10, refuses to consider an artificial tree. But this season, the hunt for that perfect tree is becoming a bit more difficult
