Each year, the National Christmas Tree Association contracts with Harris Interactive, a nationally recognized market research firm, to conduct the annual consumer tracking poll. To give an accurate measurement of consumer trends, the tracking poll asks the same core questions, uses the same methodology and is conducted at the same time each year.

Christmas Trees were added to the federal agriculture census in 1997, when the responsibility for census shifted from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The agriculture census is conducted every five years.
