Sprucing Up the Holidays: a Discussion with the National Christmas Tree Association

This week, the Ryans bring on special guest Tim O'Connor, the Executive Director of the National Christmas Tree Association. They discuss what the NCTA does, why REAL Christmas trees should be used over artificial trees, the origin of artificial trees, and the NCTA's role in the White House Christmas Tree. It was a tree-mendous discussion!The National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA) is the national trade association representing the Christmas tree industry. NCTA represents more than 700 active member farms, 29 state and regional associations, and more than 4,000 affiliated businesses that grow and sell Christmas trees or provide related supplies and services. Members are located throughout North America, as well as in South America and Europe. It is estimated that those affiliated with the NCTA produce roughly three-quarters of the farm-raised Christmas trees in the United States.Learn more: https://realchristmastrees.org/
