Northwest Holly Harvest Crippled by Pacific Northwest Freeze
A record November freeze in the Pacific Northwest slashes holly production, with only about 15 percent of the usual 1.5 million pound harvest shipped.

Christmas tree output may rise in price by 25 to 100 percent due to higher costs and scarcer high elevation harvests.
