Real or Fake? We're talking Christmas Trees!

Nov 27, 2021

 

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us and we’ve officially kicked off the Christmas eason, The Backyard Naturalists are having a conversation about Christmas trees. In this episode, they weigh the benefits of both live and artificial trees then, offer facts, figures and a little trivia about the iconic holiday tradition such as . . .

  1. Which state grows the most Christmas trees in the United States?
  2. Which county in our home state of North Carolina grows the most trees?
  3. How many years does it take to mitigate the environmental impact of owning an artificial tree?
  4. What’s the average growth time for a Christmas tree before it’s harvested?
