It’s that time of the year again. Many people in Illinois have gotten their Christmas trees up over these past few weeks, and if you haven’t already and you’re looking for a real tree, there’s still time, though the current state of the economy may require you to dig a little deeper into your wallet for one. 

To talk about this year's market for Christmas trees and how inflation has affected it, The 21st was joined by the owner of an Illinois Christmas tree farm and the owner of a garden center.

GUESTS:

Robert Richardson

President of the Illinois Christmas Tree Association | Co-owner of Richardson Farm (Spring Grove, Illinois)

Bill Inks 

Owner, AB Hatchery & Garden Center (Bloomington)
