Christmas tree sellers in the Lower Mainland are warning of a widespread shortage of evergreens, partially due to the ongoing climate crisis, hotter summers and longer droughts.
Ben Degroot, the operations manager at Evergrow Christmas Trees, says at the moment, they have a healthy supply of trees, but he's expecting to sell out before December.
He says supply is down about 30 per cent across the area.
He says he's been hearing that some people have resorted to shipping in Fraser Firs from Ontario, Quebec, and Oregon in the U-S.
