This template breaks down all five forces for a Christmas tree farm: industry rivalry, buyer power, supplier power, threat of substitutes, and threat of new entrants-each force has farm-specific signs, scorecards, and mitigation tactics so you can set pricing and experience strategy. One table summarizes force strength.

Industry rivalry: farms and retailers

Buyer power: families and bulk buyers

Supplier power: seedlings and equipment

Substitutes: artificial trees, retail lots

The analysis is tuned to tree farming: seasonal demand, yield per acre, variety mix, and local leisure traffic; it flags zoning, harvest lead times, and event partnerships so recommendations match real farm constraints and opportunities. One metric sheet links to your P&L.
