Tree farms must apply pesticides and fungicides to prevent damage that could turn the needles yellow and make the trees un-sellable… Today, 98 percent of non-artificial Christmas trees sold worldwide come from Christmas tree farms.
So students at Berkeley are selling “free range” trees: “short little trees, with trunks that meandered left and right and branches that were sparse and uneven.”
