Demand for real Christmas trees has skyrocketed since lockdowns began in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

90 per cent of Christmas trees produced in Canada are farm-grown, according to the Canadian Christmas Tree Association .

Many farmers are retiring, and the younger generation isn’t stepping in to take their place, the association says.

Scott Lunau , owner of Albion Orchards in Caledon , Ontario , started his business 29 years ago .

The average age of a Christmas tree farmer is between 65 and 85 years old .

The Canadian Christmas Tree Association has been collaborating with the University of Waterloo’s Christmas Tree Lab to research how to adapt as weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable.

Some younger farmers are starting with other crops like lavender and sunflowers to build their businesses.
