Real or artificial? š
Hi all, I have a perfectly good artificial Christmas tree š thatās done me proud for about 5 years but this year I have a hankering for a real tree. Any idea on the environmental impact?Ā
I think itās that pine smell I want and the āgenuineness ā if that makes sense?Ā
I wonāt be getting rid of the artificial tree.Ā
What do others on the forum do?Ā

I would not buy a plastic tree because I donāt think we should use plastic if itās avoidable ⦠but if you have a plastic tree already then re-using it year after year is also āa good thingā. The problem will be deciding how to dispose of it when the time comes.Ā
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 OHās Christmas G&Ts.Ā
P.S.
Iāve just found a photo of my parentsā tree and its baubles. It came from Woolies! š
I don't know but would guess, cheaper supermarket trees probably have come from afar.Ā
