A recent map on maps.com (an Esri run map site) by Joshua Stevens shows where Christmas trees are grown.
The data is from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Each tree shaped spike represents a county. The most significant areas are in Oregon and North Carolina. If you click on the map you can activate a magnifier to play with.
The text below the map tells about the environmental advantages of natural trees over artificial ones though it feels a bit advertise-y. You can also read about the history behind the tree traditions and learn how to start your own tree farm. What's sadly missing from this map is the most important Christmas tree farm (to many people anyway) - the one that
Taylor Swift grew up on.
