Overview
- Producers report a smaller 2025 supply in northern Germany and nationally, with standard 2–2.5 meter trees hardest to find.
- Retail prices for Nordmann firs are running about €23–€30 per meter, roughly €1 per meter higher than last year.
- Growers cite May frost damage to young shoots, leaving many trees unsaleable and shifting availability to non‑standard sizes.
- The BVWE says Denmark, which supplies about 15% of the market, likely lost around one million trees to frost.
- Years of exits by small growers and higher energy, labor and input costs are adding to tighter supply and moderate price rises, though industry groups expect consumers will still get a tree.
