Just a quick update on this one. As of early 2026 the Honeywell links I posted above are out of stock.

The good news is that it looks like National Tree Company has been building manufacturing in Cambodia. [url=https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chrisbutler101_when-the-factory-isnt-quite-finished-you-activity-7310943051269505024-a2xm/]This is a LinkedIn post[/url] from their CEO in 2025.

Of course since they don't disclose country of origin online, there's no way to tell, but [url=https://www.retaildive.com/news/holiday-shopper-tariffs-artificial-christmas-trees-retail/806082/]this article said[/url] that in 2025, 60% of their product came from outside China.

So it looks like tariffs are making a difference in diversifying manufacturing outside of China. Let's hope these emerging countries get a chance before our foolish government puts everything back into China's lap again.

Unfortunately, this is an example of where you can't trust Google's AI overview. It's basically scraping the answer from Balsam's Web site.

Balsam is very, very tricky with their language—but the "hand assembling" is done in China. Possible that some of the assembly has gone to the Philippines, but they're so coy with their language it's impossible to tell.

According to Google AI overview, Balsam Hill trees are "designed in California, prototyped in China, and then made by hand"

Not a real Christmas tree but still worth to mention.
The outdoor Christmas trees of Fairybell are made in Holland.

Sadly, all of them that had US manufacturing operations (many for decades) shut them down and moved their manufacturing to China. Ironic that a name like "National Christmas Tree" would end up throwing the nation under a bus.

What about National Tree Company? Puleo? Balsam Hill? None of them are made in the USA??

The artificial Christmas tree market was one of the first to be overtaken by China, and has been completely dominated by China for years. It's easy to see why. Artificial trees are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a petroleum by-product. While other countries had to deal with environmental regulation after regulation, China became the world's top producer of PVC, not to mention polypropylene.

China went from dominating plastic Christmas trees to dominating just about everything made with plastics. While American and European executives were patting themselves on the back for taking advantage of cheap China labor and lax environmental laws, China began controlling the supply chain of every industry that had plastic components—which meant every industry. There used to be Christmas tree manufacturers in the United States, but they've all either outsourced to China completely or went out of business.

I was writing a blog post on best Christmas ornaments not made in China, when I stumbled upon Christmas trees by Honeywell, of all companies. That's right, the same ones that make air filters and thermostats (as well as a lot of industrial products). They have this [url=https://amzn.to/4i6Ocbn]six-foot tree[/url], complete with lights for sale.
