Expect higher prices for choose-and-cut and shipped cut trees this holiday season, a Texas A&M Forest Service expert says.

A new study from the Texas A&M Forest Service finds that tree sales generated more than $700 million last holiday season, while supporting thousands of jobs across the state.

With live trees in high demand this year, an expert from the Texas A&M Forest Service recommends shopping early to get the best price and selection.

Despite the drought, industry experts say any price increases on Texas-grown trees will be small.
