Christmas trees are becoming harder to find as the holiday approaches

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Christmas tree lots began popping up around the Cape Fear just before Thanksgiving. But many have already sold out.

It’s not just in North Carolina. Many states across the country are also seeing a boom in sales this season.

Some lot owners say they believe trees are in high demand because of the pandemic, with more people staying home and wanting to decorate early.
