Ireland could be heading for Christmas tree shortage

 

Ireland could be heading for a Christmas tree shortage, due to recent mild weather and the Suez Canal blockage.

Fewer artificial trees are available this year due to supply chain issues, with prices jumping 50 percent on last year’s prices in some Irish outlets.

Meanwhile real trees bought too early are unlikely to last until the big day as the recent mild weather is causing them to shed their needles after around 10 days indoors.
