Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it’s time for millions across the country to start putting up their Christmas trees. It may be a little more difficult to do that this year for everyone, even for those living right here in the Tennessee Valley.

A nationwide shortage has made Christmas trees harder to get and more expensive to buy.

Last year saw an over-sell in Christmas tree purchases, leading farmers all over the country to scramble to restock their supply…that takes anywhere from four to 10 years to grow. Combine that with a year of unpredictable weather for cultivating and the supply shrinks.

Plus, the economy is also very unpredictable and workers for most outlets are just not available.
