In 2008, Oregon Christmas tree growers cut and sold 7.34 million trees with a value of $110.1 million.

More Oregon-grown Christmas trees end up in California than any other state.  Guess that makes sense since we’re the closest state with the most people.

For every real Christmas tree harvested, 1 to 3 seedlings are planted the following spring.
