It notes insurance pressure to use asbestos trims, rising fire risk, and shifting demand across evergreen, holly, palm crowns, and lycopodium amid new laws and logistics.

Holiday decoratives shipping tips from southern sources
The Packer reports guidance from a decorator house on Christmas greenery. Holly, spruce, balsam, mistletoe sell well. long needle pines from Alabama and other states endure rough handling. Magnolia foliage and galax leaves are popular. wild smilax meets steady demand. Express shipment preferred for magnolia and galax. mixed cars reduce freshness loss. A comprehensive assortment for small cars suggests 1,000 to 2,000 units.
