Why Real Christmas Trees:

There are many benefits to getting a real Christmas tree. For starters, the fresh scent of pine or balsam cannot be reproduced. They are also 100% decomposable. You can throw out your tree after the New Year without feeling guilty about contributing to landfills.

Real Christmas trees are grown on farms made specifically for the Christmas tree season. Plus, with every tree cut down that holiday season, a farmer plants one or more Christmas trees for future seasons. Not only do real Christmas trees help the environment and support local farmers, but they also make great memories with your family. The time spent choosing the perfect tree will be remembered by your children for years to come.
