What States Produce the Most Christmas Trees?

Oregon is at the top of the list with 4.7 million trees grown each year. North Carolina is 2nd on the list with just over 4 million trees every year. Michigan is the nation's 3rd largest Christmas Tree supplier with 1.5 million grown each year.

How Many Trees Are Grown in Texas and Louisiana?

Louisiana is in the bottom 15 for Christmas tree production while Texas is about mid pack among all the states.

Texas 34,000 trees

Louisiana 11,000 trees

If you look at the numbers, there's really no chance Louisiana could catch up with Oregon or North Carolina. But we do have plenty to go around. But most of the trees you see at grocery stores and nurseries come in from other states where Christmas trees are a big business.

Experts say there are about 30 million trees sold in the U.S. each year.
