Governor Northam took delivery of three Christmas trees and other homegrown decorations in Richmond at the Governor’s Mansion.
Christmas tree farms number more than 450 in the Commonwealth and are a major factor in Virginia’s overall agriculture export report and receipts with $10 million sold annually from the nation’s sixth-largest collection of commercially-sold trees.
National tree retailers are declaring a shortage more than three weeks from the holiday with bad weather and supply chain breaks to the pandemic as the reason for the slim pickings.
