Lol artificial trees are made from oil and wire. Mostly from China. Live cut trees are raised by farmers, raised to harvest just like any other crop. Most of if not all the farmers are American or Canadian.
Now back to the OP. Get your live tree very soon. Most of the good trees will be gone by this weekend. We get ours Thanksgiving weekend. Cut two inches off the stump, add about a cap of bleach to your water so the tree doesn't seal over the cut. It will take a quart of water most every day for a week, after that not so much. Our trees last pretty good until New Years.
Merry Christmas!
