The prices for Christmas trees in Saxony remain largely stable this year. They are mostly at a comparable level to last year, according to Lars Richter, spokesman for the state enterprise Sachsenforst (SBS). There were only isolated price increases, but these were only minor.
According to the SBS, it sells between 15,000 and 20,000 Christmas trees a year. There are no uniform prices for the trees from the state-owned company, but these are determined and set by the respective forest districts. According to the spokesperson, it is not possible to give a general reason for slight increases. However, the prices could be influenced by different weather conditions or increased material costs, among other things.
