The Real Christmas Tree Board reported in a news release that in 2024 there will be a real Christmas tree for everyone who wants one. For the third year in a row, those who “grow and know” project sales will be steady and that wholesale prices will be flat.
While there was a shortage of trees for a number of years due to the pandemic, this year 20 % of those responding to the research being done by the Real Christmas Tree Board anticipate selling more trees than they did in the preceding year.
Despite concerns about the possibility of reduced consumer spending due to inflation, Marsha Grey, Executive Director of the Real Christmas Tree Board, believes that the industry is both resilient and consistent.
“We meet demand,” she said. “We sell what we harvest. And we keep planning a decade ahead.”
Just like last year, most of those wanting to buy a real Christmas tree will find one at the first place they go looking for a tree. The number of people buying a real tree for the first time is also expected to increase this year.
“Getting a real Christmas tree provides the memory-making experience that parents are looking for,” said Gray. “Plus, they get to enjoy the wonderful real Christmas tree scent that is a top reason first-time-buyers say they’ll go real this year.”
Below are a number of places to go in and near Maury County to find a real Christmas tree this year:

For several years, Frank and Nichole Musgrave, owners of Southern Grace Tree Farm, went to tree farms and chose the PERFECT Christmas tree for their home. After years of purchasing from other tree farmers, they decided they could grow their own trees and families could come to their farm and create the same wonderful memories they did with their son, Weston. They purchased land and seedlings, planting 2,500 trees. After hours of mowing, shearing, watering and pruning, they now have beautiful trees to sell. They have pre-cut Frasier Firs and You Cut Virginia and White Pine, as well as wreaths and garlands.
November 23 and 24, they are offering pre-cut Fraser firs only, and opening pre-cuts and choose and cuts the rest of the season. Southern Grace Tree Farm grows Virginia Pine, Scotch Pine, White Pine, White Spruce and Norway Spruce trees for families to come choose and cut your own family tree!

Laura Faircloth knew when she was a child that she wanted to own a Christmas tree farm. The desire grew stronger with time. Finally, she and her husband, Jamie, bought one in 2015, packed their kids up, and moved from Nashville into the country where they had found one for sale. The exit off I-840 to their farm is even named Pinewood Road. How perfect for a Christmas tree farm! So, now they sell choose and cut trees, pre-cut firs, and handmade wreaths.
Come make memories with your family and friends on a hayride around the farm or sipping hot chocolate and savoring a s’more or three around the fire. Can’t wait to continue to be a part of your Christmas tradition or start a new one.
