Choose Real Christmas Trees to Plant This Season

Instead of artificial trees destined for landfills, planting real Christmas trees offers sustainability, fragrance, and lasting memories—making every season greener.

Real Christmas trees are biodegradable, support local ecosystems, and provide a fragrant, authentic holiday experience. Unlike plastic alternatives, they enrich soil when replanted or composted, reducing environmental impact while preserving tradition for future generations.

Opt for native or hardy species like balsam fir, Douglas fir, or white pine for best results. Balsam fir offers a classic scent and dense foliage, Douglas fir provides excellent structure, and white pine is resilient in various climates. Choose trees with vibrant green needles and sturdy roots to ensure healthy growth and long-term enjoyment.

Plant in well-drained soil during late fall or early winter. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, place the tree carefully, and water thoroughly. Keep soil moist but not soggy, and protect from harsh winds. With proper care, your tree will thrive beyond Christmas and return as a living centerpiece year after year.

Choosing to plant real Christmas trees transforms holiday celebrations into eco-conscious rituals. Embrace sustainability this season—plant a tree that grows joy, beauty, and green legacy far beyond the holiday season.

Most evergreens -including common Christmas trees such as firs, spruces, and pines-enjoy full sun but can tolerate shade, so pick an appropriate spot that leaves the tree plenty of room to grow. Dig a hole two to three feet deep and just as wide, and it should be large enough to accommodate most standard tree sizes.

Nearly 30 million real Christmas trees are sold each year in the United States. Most of these are grown on tree farms, and the types of Christmas trees they grow vary by region. The ideal Christmas tree is one that grows quickly, has sturdy branches, and retains its needles after cutting.
