Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Most of the nation's Christmas tree growers expect wholesale prices to remain steady and might lower them due to steady demand, a new industry study says.
The Real Christmas Tree Board surveyed 43 wholesale growers who represent between one-half and two-thirds of the Christmas tree market to arrive at its positive outlook for lovers of traditional holiday trees and those who sell them.
"Growers are prepared, supply is strong, and most are holding wholesale prices steady this year," said Marsha Gray, executive director of the Real Christmas Tree Board, in a news release.
"This reflects the consistency of the real Christmas tree industry and the commitment of growers to ensuring that there's a real Christmas tree for everyone who wants one."
