Michigan Tree Growers Urge Out of State Markets
Cliff Gearhart president of the Michigan Christmas Tree Growers Association warns that Michigan growers face surplus trees unless they expand into out of state markets within 2 to 3 years. He cites 80 million trees planted in 1959 and reports many investors seek easy money while Michigan households buy about 2 million trees annually. Gearhart urges joining or consulting MCTGA for market information and notes competition from Wisconsin Minnesota and Pennsylvania.
