Christmas Tree Guide
Did you know that last year 29 million American households bought a Christmas tree and that Oregon grows more tress than any other state? This year look for trees tagged by the Coalition of Environmentally Conscious Growers. They are launching a new program this year that will identify 200,000 Christmas trees that meet the organization’s standards for environmental conservation, biodiversity and worker safety.
The Original Living
Christmas Tree Company
Ready to make the switch to a living Christmas tree this year? This company has been in business for 16 years and has helped plant over two thousand trees. The rental price is $75 for delivery and your tree will be delivered by Friday, December 14. Your tree then gets picked up and taken away to be planted on January 1 (The limited rental period gives the trees the best chance of survival after planting.)
