Going green has never been easier with a REAL tree. Buying a Real tree benefits the environment more than an artificial tree in many ways, for example, artificial trees are not naturally bio-degradable and can only be disposed of by burning the fake tree. In previous years the idea of buying an artificial tree was to help protect the environment and stop deforestation, today this is not the case. The awareness of preserving the environment has become more important than ever before, do your part this year and Go Green with the environmental choice of a real tree.

Buying a Real Christmas Tree is about Protecting the Environment

• Real trees are grown on farms much like any other crop; in fact one acre of real Christmas trees can produce enough oxygen for 18 people
• There are close to half a billion Real Christmas Trees currently growing on Christmas Tree farms in the U.S. alone, all planted by farmers.
• It can take as many as 15 years to grow a tree the average retail height of six feet, but the average growing time is 7 years
• Only a portion of trees are cut every year ensuring a continual harvest and preservation of habitat.
• Unlike artificial trees, real trees are completely biodegradable, after the holiday season people reuse their trees to make mulch, soil erosion barriers, or animal sanctuaries during the cold winter months
• Christmas trees are planted in soil which other plants cannot grow, thereby increasing soil stability.

For every real Christmas tree harvested, 2 to 3 seedlings are planted in its place.
