Sales of Christmas trees are holding steady, with 14 percent of households buying a live tree last year while 80 percent of Americans have an artificial tree. There are 2,880 farms dedicated to solely growing Christmas trees, and then 13,000 that dabble in the business and sell a few alongside other, more traditional crops. A tree might sell for $20 wholesale and retail for $75. Overall, the business for Christmas trees and decorations stands at $5 billion.
