**Christmas tree growers expect to overcome the challenges of COVID-19 and a Pacific Northwest heatwave to provide enough trees for 2021 demand.
After a tree-by-tree evaluation, growers expect to supply the same overall number of real Christmas trees to the marketplace this season as they’d planned before the crises hit.
With about eight weeks until Christmas tree shopping season, experts are confident there will be a real Christmas tree for everyone who wants one this year.
