JOINT RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the contributions of the Christmas tree industry 
to the United States economy. 
Whereas Christmas trees have been sold commercially in the 
United States since the 1850s; 
Whereas, by 1900, one in five American families decorated a 
tree 
during 
the 
Christmas 
season, 
while, 
by
•HJ 15 EH 
1930, a decorated Christmas tree had become a nearly 
universal part of the American Christmas celebration; 
Whereas 32.8 million households in the United States pur-
chased a live-cut Christmas tree in 2005; 
Whereas the placement and decoration of live-cut Christmas 
trees in town squares across the country have become an 
American tradition; 
Whereas, for generations, American families have traveled 
hundreds and even thousands of miles to celebrate the 
Christmas season together around a live-cut Christmas 
tree; 
Whereas 36 million live-cut Christmas trees are produced 
each year, and 98 percent of these trees are shipped or 
sold directly from Christmas tree farms; 
Whereas Oregon, North Carolina, Michigan, Washington, 
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, Minnesota, Virginia, 
California, and Ohio are the top producers of live-cut 
Christmas trees, but Christmas trees are grown in all 50 
States; 
Whereas there are more than 21,000 growers of Christmas 
trees in the United States, and approximately 100,000 
people are employed in the live-cut Christmas tree indus-
try; 
Whereas many Christmas tree growers grow trees on a part- 
time basis to supplement their other farm and non-farm 
income; 
Whereas growing Christmas trees provides wildlife habitat; 
Whereas, in 2005, Christmas trees were planted on more 
than a half million acres of land;
•HJ 15 EH 
Whereas 73 million new Christmas trees will be planted in 
2006, and, on average, over 1,500 Christmas trees can 
be planted per acre; and 
Whereas the retail value of all Christmas trees harvested in 
2005 was $1.4 billion: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
That Congress recognizes the important contributions of 
the live-cut Christmas tree industry, Christmas tree grow-
ers, and persons employed in the live-cut Christmas tree 
industry to the United States economy.
