CEDAR RAPIDS With only a few days left until the holiday, the vast majority of the area’s tree farms have sold out of Christmas trees and are closed for the season, but garden centers still have some for last-minute shoppers.
Dan Hoffman, who with his wife, Deb, owns Hoffman Tree Farm in Marion, said the business sold most of its trees in just the first three days of the season.
“We opened Black Friday and that weekend had good weather,” he said. “There’s just not enough Christmas tree farms around Cedar Rapids.”
Just west in Benton County, the Kacena Farm in Vinton had its best year ever for tree sales, according to business manager Alyce Lynch.
