Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states by about 15,000 tree farms.
The million acres of land in Christmas tree production yield about 30 million trees bought annually.
The
average growing time for a tree to reach 6 feet is seven years, however,
the growing time can be as long as 15 years.
______
Couldn't
these trees be milled to be used as wooden poles instead of just being
dumped next to water to "save the wetlands"??
