– Unlike artificial trees, real Christmas trees remain good value and can be recycled after use at locations nationwide, creating compost for gardens and landscaping. Artificial trees are non recyclable and non biodegradable, meaning they will sit in landfill for centuries after disposal.
– Each real christmas tree is cultivated as an individual tree and produced to the highest quality standards from the time they are planted right through to delivery.
– Christmas Tree Plantations help prevent global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Young trees absorb CO2 at a rate of 13 pounds per tree each year. Trees reach their most productive stage of carbon storage at about 10 years at which point they are estimated to absorb 48 pounds of CO2 per year.
– As well as removing CO2 christmas trees also give off oxygen. During the ten year growing period one hectare of Christmas trees produces between 70 and 105 tons of oxygen
– Christmas trees plantations when cut out are reforested with new trees, thus continuing the cycle.
– Our Christmas tree farm is carefully managed by a qualified forester with over 40 years experience in silviculture.
