It may not surprise you that our home state of Oregon is number one in the country for Christmas tree farms – after all, the fir tree is even represented on our state flag, and we grow nearly 4 million Christmas trees each year (that's 30% of all Christmas trees in the U.S.).

This depends on what you're looking for in a Christmas tree. If you want it to last, the fraser fir is known to be the longest-lasting among all the Christmas tree species.

China dominates the global market and supply chain for decorations and artificial Christmas trees, with other countries, such as Cambodia and Mexico, also exporting a significant volume of holiday goods to the U.S. every year.

Usually, no more than 600 to 800 trees fit on a full-size tractor trailer. Most farms load dozens of trucks but larger farms may load hundreds in the space of two to three weeks.
