(Morning Sun, IA) — Everything seems in short supply this year and live Christmas trees are no exception. David Pierce, past-president of the Iowa Christmas Tree Association, says some tree farms may be having trouble this season due to the long-running drought. He says there was a strong demand last year due to other events like the weather, and deer damage — and supplies are a little bit tighter this year. Last year’s derecho destroyed untold thousands of native hardwoods and shade trees statewide, but he says the powerful wind storm didn’t cause much trouble for evergreens.
