FAQs

Are artificial Christmas trees better than a real Christmas tree?

Whether artificial Christmas trees are better than real trees depends on what you're looking for. A good artificial Christmas tree offers several benefits. They're low-maintenance, reusable for many years, and can save you money in the long run.

Unlike real trees, artificial or 'fake' Christmas trees don't require watering, won't shed needles, and come in various styles, including pre-lit options, snowy finishes, and ultra-realistic designs.

On the other hand, real trees bring a unique fragrance and the charm of a natural element into your home. However, they need regular care and cleanup, and purchasing a new tree each year can add up.

For a full breakdown of real vs artificial Christmas trees, see our helpful guide.

Are artificial Christmas trees better for the environment than real Christmas trees?

A good artificial Christmas tree can be reused for many years, reducing the need for yearly tree harvesting and your carbon footprint.

While biodegradable and often recycled into mulch after the holiday season, real trees require yearly cutting down, transportation, and disposal. They also require pesticides and fertilisers, which can have a high environmental cost.

In conclusion, if you plan to use your artificial tree for many years, it can be a more environmentally friendly choice compared to buying a real tree every year.
