Hawarden, Iowa — One Iowa Christmas tree grower says supplies are already getting short and this has been only the first weekend of December. Robin Miller of rural Hawarden owns of T & S Christmas tree farm in Plymouth County.
She says the demand for real trees has continued to be high.
Miller says a new generation wanting to make family memories has led to an increase in demand for real Christmas trees in recent years. Miller says most people prefer to pick a tree that stands around seven feet tall. She says it takes between eight and ten years to grow a tree at that height.
Miller has a gift shop and says another product has been very popular.
Miller says the warm weather hasn’t kept people from being in the Christmas spirit, and sales of trees have not suffered.
The T & S Christmas tree farm is located about 20 miles northwest of Le Mars, and 25 miles north of Sioux City.
