When should you get your Christmas tree, according to experts

MENDHAM, N.J. (PIX11) -- The Christmas tree market looks a bit jollier this year after reported shortages in the last few holiday seasons.

"I grow Christmas trees," said Christian Nicholson, owner of Hidden Pond Tree Farm. "The corn and tomatoes feed your stomach, but what I grow feeds your soul."

At Nicholson's tree farm in Morris County, the season looks like it will be merry and bright.

"I think the supply of Christmas trees in 2022 is going to be relatively good," he said. 

Nicholson is also the President of the New Jersey Christmas Tree Growers Association. He said the industry is seeing trees being cut and shipped all around the country. After a couple of rough years of shortages, he said the business is trending in the right direction.
