Although Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia lead the country when it comes to producing Christmas trees, Hamelin said he expects the successive extreme weather events in B.C. will contribute to an ongoing shortage for years to come. Climate change is not the only factor challenging farmers and threatening Canada’s stock of real Christmas trees, which has been declining for several years.
Shirley Brennan, the executive director of the Canadian Christmas Trees Association, said the average age of a tree farmer is between 65 and 85 years old, and younger generations aren’t entering the sector as longtime farmers retire. The high cost of land and competition with crops that yield revenue more quickly than festive trees may be an inhibiting factor for the sector in B.C., Hamelin noted.Article content
