In the era of social distancing, many are left searching for traditions that bring them comfort. One of those ways include buying a Christmas tree for this upcoming holiday season, and many are doing so early.
Charlie Keutman, owner of a local gardening supply store shares his experience in how Christmas tree sales are doing this holiday..
“They are blowing up. We are way ahead of projected sales for cut trees. Even the living trees are selling well. Everybody is shopping early, buying earlier than normal. It’s a good time of year”, Keutman said.
Bloomberg estimates that the cost of these have gone up by over 7-percent, and that over $2 billion will be spent this year by consumers in the U.S. for live Christmas trees.
