@cnn: North Carolina harvests more than 3 million Christmas trees every year, the second-highest number by state in the country. Just weeks before the 2024 holiday season, Hurricane Helene flooded the state's tree farms with rain and polluted water. CNN weather anchor Elisa Raffa explores the damage and hears what's next for Christmas tree farmers. #cnn #news #helene #christmastrees

Please sell "virtual trees!" I am happy to buy one every year until your farm is able to sell real trees to all who want them! 🥰

Many of these farmers will not replace either. My family owned an Xmas tree farm. It takes so many years to grow a tree. It's heartbreaking here in NC.

I couldn't buy anything but a live Christmas tree from the mountains this year. Our hurricane survivor tree is worth every penny!
