What are sustainable Christmas trees?

Sustainable Christmas Trees are living trees that have been planted and grown in pots
As the tree grows, it is placed in a larger pot to contain the larger root system
Our trees have been specifically chosen for use as sustainable Christmas trees due to their ability to thrive in a pot
These healthy pot grown trees are portable and can be used as Christmas trees during the short holiday season as an alternative to cutting down a tree or using an artificial tree.
Sustainable Christmas trees can be used year after year or planted in your yard for a lifetime of memories and enjoyment

Why Choose A Sustainable
Christmas Tree?

Put Safety First!
With a sustainable tree thriving in its pot, you won't have to worry about it drying out like a traditional cut tree. Traditional cut trees dry out over time and pose an increased fire hazard while properly watered sustainable Christmas trees stay green and safe in their pots, offering peace of mind during the holidays.
Memories that Matter
After the holidays you can choose to keep your tree and plant it in the Spring. Planting your tree isn't just eco-friendly; it's a delightful way to revisit significant moments, such as a newborn's first Christmas, your inaugural holiday in a new home, or any heartwarming gatherings with family and friends.
Environmentally Friendly
Experience the beauty of a live tree without the need to cut one down. Our locally sourced, sustainable options thrive year-round, saving you from disposal hassles and storage woes, all while benefiting our communities.
Clean & Easy
These living potted trees stay sturdy (About 30lbs of jolly goodness!), so there's no risk of your furry friends toppling the holiday cheer. Living trees also stay neat and tidy, so you won't be chasing needles around the house. Plus, no more tree stand hassles!
