Evergreen??

This year in NY there is a big big shortage on evergreen "schach" for the sukka. Many people have told me that they are going to get more "bamboo mates" and place it on the roof of their sukka.
Why there is a shortage sources say that it because a shipment from the main distributor of evergreen was stopped on its way out of Canada. But we dono if that's THE reason for the shortage this year?!

But the only problem is.... the kids..... All kids ages 1-8 know that "schach" is green evergreen so we have a problem!!
If you have any idea of what to do just pleas feel free to comment
