Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island has a small Christmas tree industry; some growers cater to the "u-cut" and local retail trade. The primary species is Balsam Fir with pines and spruce accounting for most of the rest. Many growers plant seedlings on old fields but there is increasing interest in managing balsam fir that establishes itself naturally on many old cutover sites.
In 2009, approximately 80,000 Christmas trees were exported from Prince Edward Island to the United States.
