Christmas tree prices are expected to rise in 2023 due to a series of challenging years for the industry. It takes an average of six to eight years for a tree to reach its desired height for sale, and developments over the past several years have posed challenges for farmers. Drought conditions in certain parts of the country have also affected prices. While some areas have seen an annual increase in prices, there are ways to save money, such as buying from larger retailers who can better absorb the higher costs.
