Domestic goods can be identified by the origin loop. "While trees from abroad have thousands of transport kilometers on their backs, trees from Lower Austria travel an average of only 40 kilometers to the sales stand," said Josef Reithner, chairman of the ARGE NÖ Christmas tree farmers with around 200 members.

"It is important to keep the Christmas tree cool and moist until the Christmas festival", advised the Lower Austrian Christmas tree queen Ricarda Reithner, who is active in her father's culture.

"Without Christmas trees, many farming family businesses would no longer exist," emphasized Johannes Schmuckenschlager, President of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Agriculture. They are especially "vital" for regions like Jauerling. 1,000 people are employed in Lower Austria alone in the harvest and sale of Christmas tree cultures.
