If you’re shopping for a real tree this Christmas season, be prepared to pay more this year.

The median retail price paid for a Christmas tree across the country last year was $80. That’s according to the National Christmas Tree Association, MarketWatch reports.

That dollar amount is expected to be more this year.

With the jump in price, shopping around for a lower price is recommended.

But, buyer beware!

“If you save $10 and all the needles fall off by December 15, did you really save?” said Mac Harman, with the American Christmas Tree Association, according to MarketWatch.

Some blame the price spike on labor costs and inflation.

In terms of a shortage, there doesn’t appear to be a national shortage. However, some regions might have different experiences.

“I haven’t heard of any community in America where people haven’t been able to get a Christmas tree, and I don’t expect that will be the case this year,” Tim O’Connor, executive director of the National Christmas Tree Association, told CNN.

Farms are working with a “tight, but sufficient, supply of trees,” CNN said.

“This has been the situation since 2016. There is an increase [in trees] coming but it’s not ready to harvest yet,” O’Connor told CNN.

Despite O’Connor telling CNN he hasn’t heard of any shortages, there are reports of tree shortages this year.

“It’s happening across the country,” Joe Shipman, a tree farm operator in Suffolk County, New York, told Dan’s Papers. Shipman said a Pennsylvania wholesaler canceled an 800-tree order. “Certain farms aren’t able to get what they need.”

A shortage was reported in western Massachusetts.

A Pennsylvania farmer says trees are in short supply.

In Canada, a tree shortage also has been reported.

Even in Indiana County, Pennsylvania — long considered the “Christmas tree capital of the world — trees are in short supply.

But in Oregon, prices and supply are holding steady.

The Real Christmas Tree Board says 20% of survey respondents are planning to buy a real Christmas tree for the first time this year.

The association has a retail locator link to help people find local places to buy live Christmas trees.

The tree board says its survey shows 40% of respondents who say they are switching to a live tree this year are doing so because of the scent.
