• Shop early to have the best choice. Shopping early in the season is a good idea wherever you plan to shop to have the most options to choose among.
• You will be able to purchase a tree. Supplies are tight and some locations will sell out early, but there are enough real farm-grown Christmas trees for everyone who wants one to get one. Supplies of real farm-grown trees have been tight since 2016.
• Be flexible. Because supplies are tight, you may need to look in different places to find a real tree. You should also be open to trying different types of trees. There are many beautiful varieties of Christmas trees, there will be one that is just right for you and your family.
