On each of the 1 million acres (4,000 km 2) planted in Christmas trees annually there are usually about 2,000 trees, the number of trees that survive to harvest varies from 750â1,500 depending upon location.
What is the impact of a fake tree? According to the National Christmas Tree Association, 85 percent of fake Christmas trees are made in China and almost 10 million were sold worldwide in 2003.

The remaining weight consists of about 3 kg small molded plastic parts made from high-density polyethylene, and the needles, which are made from polyethylene foil and also weighing about 2 kg.
