Christmas Trees and the Forests We Depend On
An exploration of Christmas tree origins and trade, detailing annual demand around six million trees, major sources from Nova Scotia to Canada, New England, New York, and Canada, and the vast logistics of cutting, hauling, and distributing to cities like New York and Chicago. It covers evergreen varieties, how foresters view tree cutting in conservation terms, and the rise of living living Christmas trees as a new, costly practice.
