Ohio Christmas Tree Association

This year the Ohio Christmas Tree Association had the privilege of again sponsoring Operation Evergreen by sending more than 100 real Christmas trees, ornaments, stands and letters to our Troops in Kuwait. Thank you to all our current service men and women and all our veterans for keeping America safe!

If you are deciding if a “real” home grown Christmas Tree is the right choice for you, here is some information to help you decide. There are close to 350 million Real Christmas Trees currently growing on Christmas Tree farms in the U.S. alone, all planted by farmers. Real Trees are a renewable, recyclable resource. Artificial trees contain non-biodegradable plastics and possible metal toxins such as lead. For every Real Christmas Tree harvested, 1 to 3 seedlings are planted the following spring. We hope you decide on a Real Christmas Tree this year.

On behalf of the Ohio Christmas Tree Association, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
