Here are a few more bits of Christmas tree information that might come in handy during a trivia contest (or if you end up on Jeopardy):
Here’s a fun fact:
The first Christmas tree farm in the United States is believed to have begun in 1901 when 25,000 Norway Spruce trees were planted by W. V. McGalliard in Mercer County, near Trenton, New Jersey. The trees were sold seven years later for $1.00 each. Despite the early pioneers of the industry, by the late 1940s 90 percent of all natural Christmas trees sold in the United States were still harvested from forests. The most popular species during that era, Balsam Fir, Douglas-fir, Black Spruce and White Spruce, were all readily available from forests.
Following World War II more trees began to be planted in plantations. Other changes were taking place as well, in the late 1940s and early 1950s farmers began to sheer trees in respond to customer demands for denser trees. During the 1960s the market for Christmas trees in the United States began to change. The number of part-time growers declined, while some part-time growers ceased operations others expanded their operations and became full-time Christmas tree farmers. Expansion occurred in all major U.S. Christmas tree growing regions, Michigan, the Pacific Northwest and North Carolina.

From choosing your Christmas tree to transporting it and setting it up back at home, here are some things to keep in mind:
Here are some additional tips from the National Christmas Tree Association on caring for your tree:
Choosing your Christmas tree is a memorable family outing when you visit White Dog Farms. Wander through the field of beautifully shaped trees, spot your perfect tree, then we’ll cut it down for you – a fresh, fragrant, and long-lasting tree.
One important thing to consider when picking your tree is to know the height of the ceiling in the room where the tree will be displayed. The trees in the field look small when the sky is the ceiling, so we have some measuring sticks to help guide the process.
In the field, the height of the trees can be deceiving. With the sky as the ceiling, they look shorter than they actually are. Measuring sticks help with this phenomenon.
