Real or artificial? 🎄
Hi all, I have a perfectly good artificial Christmas tree 🎄 that’s done me proud for about 5 years but this year I have a hankering for a real tree. Any idea on the environmental impact?
I think it’s that pine smell I want and the “genuineness “ if that makes sense?
I won’t be getting rid of the artificial tree.
What do others on the forum do?

I would not buy a plastic tree because I don’t think we should use plastic if it’s avoidable … but if you have a plastic tree already then re-using it year after year is also ‘a good thing’. The problem will be deciding how to dispose of it when the time comes.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
But eventually its skinny little branches dropped off and I bought real trees. They proved to make far too much mess on the carpet and there was always a problem disposing of them afterwards.
We now have our potted lime tree which has fragrant flowers and which produces limes fresh in time for OH’s Christmas G&Ts.
P.S.
I’ve just found a photo of my parents’ tree and its baubles. It came from Woolies! 😁
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
I don't know but would guess, cheaper supermarket trees probably have come from afar.
