Christmas Tree Prices Vary Widely Across Ontario
Ontario grower Wilfred Richardson explains that no fixed price exists for Christmas trees. Basic No.1 trees cost 1.75 while No.2 trees cost 1.25, yet retail prices reach 5.00 to 7.50 depending on the city. U.S. currency discounts cut Canadian sales by 3 to 4 percent, sometimes up to 9 cents per tree, affecting profits as shipments head to Detroit and Buffalo. Rent for sale lots and market speculation further drive price differences across districts.
