The next shortage: Fake Christmas Trees

By Wes Styles Oct 20, 2021 | 7:26 AM

We’ve been hearing about shortages all around this year. Even more so as we head into the holiday season and now there might a little less cheer thanks to a artificial Christmas tree shortage.

Most of those trees are made in China and they are facing a supply chain crisis like us. The National Tree Company in China has a backlog of about 150 containers of trees waiting to be shipped out. The problem is that most of the ships they would’ve sailed on are sitting in ports in California waiting to be unloaded. So until they get back to China those trees can’t get shipping out.
