RCTB Statement on Areas Experiencing Drought and the Overall Real Christmas Tree Market

October 2025

For farmers, drought is never welcome. However, full-grown trees are hearty and not likely to be impacted by drought. As always, there will be a real Christmas tree for everyone who wants one.

Extreme heat and drought impacts can be challenging for individual growers. Generally, these events are localized and typically affect only small or vulnerable trees without impacting the overall market.

Christmas trees are grown in every U.S. state allowing the industry to be resilient and flexible.
