A Christmas Tale: Made in America?
Some believe that buying live Christmas trees instead of artificial trees is a little like buying American-made automobile instead of an import. “Real trees are grown in the U.S., and artificial trees are made overseas,” or so they say. The truth is like many stories told during this season, it’s just another Christmas tale.
More and more trees are grown outside the U.S., including Canada and Mexico, and brought to corner lots across America. A few artificial Christmas trees are made in the U.S.
As nearly every present under that beautiful tree has been made, assembled or purchased overseas, the same may be true of the very tree that stands over them – real or artificial.
