Why I chose a real Christmas Tree this year

Decorating the Christmas tree has to be up there as a favourite family tradition that marks the start of the Christmas season. For many people, myself included, in the warm land of Brisbane, this means grabbing the good old plastic Christmas tree from the shed, dusting her off and getting her ready for display.

This year, though, I am keen to push the Christmas cheer just a little bit further (if that is even possible) and exchange my replica tree for the real deal.  To stop faking it I guess and to entice not only the sweet scents of Christmas pudding and gingerbread men into my house but also that of a live tree.   Although our blistering heat may prevent us from a picturesque white Christmas, it doesn’t mean I can’t have a live tree just like our wintery overseas pals as well.  And with experts saying it would take about 10-15 years before a fake tree becomes a greener option over the farm-grown ones in terms of climate change and carbon emissions, I am more than happy to give it a go.

If you are keen to stop faking it as well then below are the places in and around Brisbane that can supply you with one and also a few helpful facts as well.

Things to know about a real Christmas Tree

1.  If you want to avoid disappointment, booking your tree as early as possible is best.

2.  Some varieties of trees can drop their nettles – which can be a little messy – so if this is something that you are concerned about then it may be a good idea to ask when you order.

3.  A live tree lasts about 3 weeks if watered daily.

4.  A live tree requires 3-4 litres of water daily.

5.  Some companies suggest adding a couple of spoons of sugar and a teaspoon of kitchen salt to the water – it will give the tree nutrients to stay fresh longer.

6.  It helps to shave a few millimetres off the tree’s stump before setting it up as it will allow more water to get into it.

7.  Getting a stand is advisable as it keeps the tree stable and allows water to easily travel up to the tree.

8.  Growing Christmas trees is a very environmentally friendly activity as the trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, which helps slow down the greenhouse effect.

9.  Natural Christmas trees are entirely biodegradable and are often reused by tree farms or local governments as wood chips or mulch.

10. Make sure you measure the space for the tree accurately and also make sure you have the same space free around doors and walkways in your house.  Unlike a store-bought one it will not arrive in a packed box!

11. A tree is fresh if the needles look shiny, green and fresh – not dry or brown.

12. It’s a good idea to take one of your ornaments with you to ensure there is enough room between branches and that they are strong enough to hold it up straight.

Other things you can do with a real Christmas tree

If you are crafty, you might like to see if you can grab any off-cuts for table centrepieces and wreaths for the front door. The wreath/centrepiece won’t last for long, but long enough for a Christmas party or end of year celebration. Spotlight sell wreath frames, making it easy just to place the green nettles into the frame and produce a masterpiece.

Small Real Christmas Trees

Buying a real Christmas tree doesn’t mean bigger is better and for many homes with small children or active pets, a smaller tree that can be elevated out of reach is the best idea. Our recommendation for smaller trees is to look at your local nurseries or even Coles and Woolworths who will often have stock of some miniature real Christmas trees leading up to Christmas.
