Christmas tree shortages ripple through Bucks County farms
Bucks County farmers report a national Christmas tree shortage tied to the 2008 housing crash and recession. Analysts say fewer plantings then and a 10 year growth cycle keep supply tight, boosting prices while many wholesalers and big-box retailers pressure small farms. Local growers emphasize steady regional supplies and the premium place for customers seeking real trees.
