Buying a real Christmas tree is a holiday tradition for many families. Real trees absorb carbon dioxide, provide a habitat for wildlife when they are growing and are compostable after the holiday. Most artificial trees are petroleum based and harder to recycle. If you are considering switching to a live tree this year or if buying the perfect live tree is a holiday tradition for your family, this list provides information on where in the area you can purchase a fresh tree.
