which state grows the most christmas trees

Oregon grows the most Christmas trees of any U.S. state, by a wide margin.

Top Christmas tree state

• Oregon harvests about 4.8 million Christmas trees per year, the highest total in the United States.

• The industry in Oregon is worth around $110–120 million annually, making it a significant agricultural commodity for the state.

Other leading states

• North Carolina ranks second, producing just over 3.2 million Christmas trees annually and specializing in Fraser firs.

• Michigan, Washington, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin also produce hundreds of thousands to over a million trees a year, contributing strongly to the national supply.

Why Oregon leads

• Oregon’s mountainous climate and well‑drained soils are ideal for popular Christmas tree species like Douglas fir and noble fir.

• Large acreages devoted to tree farms and strong export demand (most trees shipped out of state) help Oregon maintain its dominant position.
