Most Christmas Trees Shipped in From North
Purdue forestry specialists report about 88 percent of Indiana Christmas trees are shipped in from outside the state while 12 percent, roughly 90 000 trees last year, were grown locally.

Brundage notes wholesalers buy carload lots from Canada Michigan and the northwest making local purchases less common. He advises Hoosier farmers to plant pine varieties with good color and quality.
