Christmas tree shortage could mean Austin tree lots sell out fast

AUSTIN (KXAN) — This holiday season, a nationwide Christmas tree shortage could mean you won’t get a tree if you don’t get out and buy one ahead of the crowd. Tree farmers and those who own tree lots are warning that they’re facing severe shortages.
“There’s just not enough Christmas trees to go around,” says Jimmy Coan, who owns Papa Noel Christmas Trees.
The company runs six lots in the Austin area and a tree farm in North Carolina.
