Charlie Brown Christmas Trees expected for next Christmas!

Drought is hurting growth of Christmas Trees. (Just reported on HLN news.) Says the crops will resemble 'Charlie Brown'type trees!!
Hm. Maybe in other states, but Michigan Christmas trees look really good this year!
Oh, that's good! HLN says ....it is a 7-10 yr growing cycle, so we shouldn't see an increase in the prices this upcoming Christmas; but maybe in next few yrs; but the farmer may be able to replant this Spring to offset the drought issues vs growth.

We're in the middle of Christmas tree plantations and plenty of forests. If I have to go cut down a tree in the forest, I can LOL

The tree farmer on HLN is in Mason, Michigan; says he has lost about 4,000 trees so far due to drought.
