Artificial trees gain ground amid real tree sales
The holiday tree market shows strong demand for both artificial and real trees. Retailers report a sharp rise in artificial tree sales, with prices from 4.99 for a four foot tree to 120 for an eight foot deluxe. Garden centers and discount stores note higher volumes while some buyers still prefer real cuts. Local growers emphasize balled trees as replants for future seasons. Ohio and Pennsylvania supplies feed a market expected to top one million Ohio-grown trees this year.
