 10 Reasons to choose a live Christmas Tree this season!

  1. Christmas Trees are renewable resources, each year farmers plant new seedlings to replace the mature trees harvested in the winter

  2. Christmas Trees create wonderful habitats for birds, mammals, and insects thus enriching the environment and encouraging pollinators like honeybees and hummingbirds

  3. Christmas Trees are very resilient species that require little to no pesticides, instead they rely on their own inhabitants such as insects and birds to keep pests at bay, in the home they act as natural spider repellents

  4. Christmas Trees are recyclable! Trees can be ground into mulch, compost, or discarded whole into ponds, rivers, and lakes (with permission from your local authorities) and in turn become nurseries for spawning fish and amphibians

  5. Christmas Trees grow well in nutrient depleted soils, their presence preserves green spaces where crops would otherwise falter

  6. Christmas Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis! Their presence helps reverse the affects of ozone depletion

  7. Christmas Trees will emit a wonderful natural pine aroma and purify the air in your home for weeks

  8. Christmas Trees are typically grown by local farmers, purchasing from a small farm promotes the local economy and supports small businesses

  9. Choosing and cutting your own Christmas Tree ensures you get the freshest tree and is a fun filled family experience

  10. Live Christmas Tree harvesting is a wonderful tradition that gives people the opportunity to engage in nature and create memories with their friends and family
