If you're planning on buying a real Christmas tree this year, buyer beware. You might think the Grinch arrived early after checking the higher prices of trees this year. At Family Christmas Tree Farm in El Cajon, a semi-truck arrived filled with freshly cut trees from Washington. “This year they are really healthy, really pretty trees and you won't have a problem finding a really nice tree,” said Tyler Stokes, Family Christmas Tree Farm owner. But the Grinch may make it hard to find a price that you like on a real tree this year. “When you have the input costs increase by 25-50% for agriculture, I mean you have to raise prices,” said Stokes. He also says freights costs are up. “We also have to bring them 1,200 miles from Washington too,” said Stokes.
