There are close to 15,000 farms growing Christmas trees across the 50 states.
Three states — Michigan , North Carolina and Oregon — have the most acres of Christmas tree farms.
Drought has wilted crops in Oregon , while wind, flood and landslides caused by Hurricane Helene dented North Carolina's tree production.
Christmas tree growers in the United States also face challenges with the availability of labor and the rising costs of land.
The industry is still recovering from the fallout of the 2008 recession, when decreased demand led growers to plant fewer trees.
The number of migrant workers approved to work in North Carolina’s agriculture, forestry and fishing industries has increased nearly 50% from 2018 to 2024 .
