The life and times of our trees
Seeds from specially managed forests are used to start the production of our Christmas trees, which are then meticulously hand-selected. A nursery is then established where they are carefully nourished and cared to for the following three to four years. When our tiny trees have grown strong enough, they are transplanted onto large outdoor plantations, where they are carefully monitored and cared for for a further three to seven years before being harvested. Furthermore, all of our Christmas trees, whether pot-grown or cut, are obtained sustainably as part of our collaboration with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®), the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFCTM), and The Forest Trust (TFT). Every step of our Christmas tree's journey, from the seed to your house, is taken into consideration. Learn more about our dedication to using forest-friendly timber in this article.
Is there any open space?
It is important to know how much room you have available for your new Christmas tree before you go out and get one. Real trees, as opposed to fake trees, allow you to trim them after you've brought them home if they don't quite fit where you'd hoped they would. As a result, even if you have overestimated the amount of space available, they may still be reduced. However, it is better to cut off little amounts at a time, since there is no way to glue back on shorn branches if you have been too zealous with the shears. Before purchasing your tree, we suggest that you have an idea of the amount of space you have available. It may be beneficial to have precise measurements, although they are not required. Also, keep in mind that all three dimensions – height, breadth, and depth – are equally essential. Because your tree will most likely still need space for a decorative topping (such as a star) and the stand or tub at the base, getting the height right is important.
What method will be used to transport the tree?
Sometimes it is not the amount of room available in your home that decides the size of the tree you can accept, but the amount of space available in your vehicle. Despite the fact that our trees are wrapped in netting in order to make them as simple to travel as possible, transporting them home may be difficult, so plan ahead of time how you will move them securely. Putting the rear seats down before departing can allow you to have a better sense of the amount of room you have available. And, if the tree is going to be placed on top of your vehicle, be sure you have everything you need to securely attach the tree to your roof.
What are your plans for getting rid of it?
You should consider how you will dispose of your Christmas tree after the festivities are done. Check out our guide to caring for your Christmas tree for information on all of the available choices as well as suggestions on how to keep your tree looking fresh and full.
Is it better to buy cut flowers or potted plants?
Considering that our trees are available in both cut and potted forms, why not combine the two in your landscaping? Pot-grown plants are great for the outdoors – with entry porches, front gardens, and balconies all making excellent places for them to greet visitors and family members. Cut ones, on the other hand, come in bigger sizes and look fantastic in living rooms, dining rooms, and corridors. Pot-grown trees are lightweight and portable, and there is no need to purchase a tree stand or skirt for them. Rather of discarding them after the holidays, they may be enjoyed long after the festivities have ended and, if properly cared for, can be a part of your holiday celebrations for many years to come. Or, you may put some of the flowers in your garden to give some evergreen color.

Why should you avoid purchasing a real Christmas tree?
Not to mention items such as tree supports, which may become rusted and unpleasant with time and must be changed on a regular basis. No doubt about it, the tree that is withering and turning into compost will break down more quickly in a landfill than a plastic tree.
Why are real Christmas trees preferable than artificial ones?
Using comparative life cycle approaches, the research conducted by Ellipsos and the American Christmas Tree Association discovered that real trees generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions per holiday season than artificial trees, but that this difference changes depending on how long your artificial tree has been in use.
What is the average lifespan of a live Christmas tree?
Most genuine Christmas trees should survive at least five weeks, if not longer, if they are cared for properly. That implies that if you decorate for Christmas in late November, your tree should be able to withstand the rigors of the holiday season. Follow these suggestions to ensure that your Christmas tree continues to look beautiful long after it has been cut.
What is it about genuine Christmas trees that they no longer smell?
A fir or spruce tree's fragrance may not be as powerful or it may lose its scent more rapidly than a pine or spruce tree. Because the tree's trunk and branches have not been harmed, the amount of odor emitted is reduced. In order to give your holiday party that that unique touch, you may spray the area with Christmas tree scent.
