Kathy Fields arranges fruit at the Beaumont Garden Center on College Street in Beaumont on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2005. She said the center sold out of several hundred trees far before expected because Hurricane Rita damaged Southeast Texas tree farms. Many Southeast Texans purchase Christmas trees directly from these farms.
