It is difficult to determine the exact number of imports, as the Federal Customs Administration registers Christmas trees with coniferous branches in one category. Also, according to a message from the Agricultural Information Service (LID) on Monday, imports are recorded on a per kilo basis, not on a piece basis.
Demand for trees grown in Switzerland is increasing. According to IG Suisse Christbaum, Swiss trees in recent years couldn’t cover them. First of all, Swiss trees have ecological advantages due to short transport routes and are fresher.
According to IG Suisse Christbaum, most Christmas tree cultures have coped well with the drought experienced during this year’s hot summer months. Individual growers have complained of the death of newly planted Christmas tree cultures in the spring. However, this has no effect this Christmas, as a tree’s growth period is about ten years.
