Why a REAL TREE at Christmas?
 

- Tradition of real Christmas trees goes back over 150 years in our country.

- Natural beauty and fragrance are celebrated.  A real tree is like a bouquet of flowers, but lasts longer.

- 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

- Our environment is enhanced by the fresh, oxygenated air produced by trees.  Through photosynthesis, the trees absorb carbon dioxide-laden air and emit oxygen.  Just one acre of Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirements for 18 people.  Young trees in their rapid growth years have a high rate of photosynthesis and thus produce more oxygen than older trees.  When a Christmas tree is harvested, 2 to 3 new trees are planted.
