Black Friday is a busy day at Blooms Garden Center, as many people came in find that perfect live Christmas tree for their home. They sell Fraser Firs, which is the bestselling Christmas tree in America, because it holds it's needles the longest and has that great smell for the holiday season. And people who like the added touch of a live tree at Christmas time come back year after year.
Blooms garden center restocks daily to keep up for the weekend after Thanksgiving, which is typically the most popular time to buy a real tree. The manager says sales have been steady so far, and they expect to sell out even sooner than in the past.
