As many of you are heading out and picking that perfect real Christmas tree to trim, here is one more reason you are making the right choice. Real Christmas trees are 100 percent recyclable and biodegradable, making your Christmas green in more than one way.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The culmination of the Thanksgiving holiday has subsided and we are heading into a new season – Christmas. Meaning, it’s finally time to put up your fresh, real tree and decorate for the holidays.

The time has come to toss your artificial tree where it belongs – in the trash. Real Christmas trees need a little love and care, but nothing compares to the aroma of a fresh, Michigan grown Christmas tree in your home.  With proper care, fresh trees are grown to last from Thanksgiving through Christmas.

Christmas only comes once a year so it’s important to select the perfect tree to decorate, but picking a tree suitable to display in your home can be a daunting task. Good thing Michigan trees come in a  variety of species, sizes, and tree farms for you to choose from this holiday season. 

Congratulations, you made the decision to celebrate the holiday season with a fresh, farm-grown Christmas tree. Luckily for Michiganders, Christmas tree farms are located all over the mitten state, including the Upper Peninsula.

Every December, people flock to superstores to do the “green” thing: purchase an artificial tree in hopes of saving a few trees from being chopped down.

Waking up on Christmas morning to the sight of a Christmas tree is a luxury that not everyone is able to experience – including many of the soldiers fighting for our country and their beloved families.
