Benefits Of An Artificial Christmas Tree Over A Real One

There has been a growing debate over the last few years whether an artificial Christmas tree is a better and environmental friendly investment than a real Christmas tree, and as seen on the BBC we have defended on more than one occasion the artificial Christmas tree industry.

I honestly believe we have a fantastic case for artificial Xmas trees, outweighing the annual purchase of a real Christmas tree. I think the best solution is for you to decide.

As anyone who has bought a real tree in his or her home can tell you, some major drawbacks to having a real Christmas tree are,

(1) The pine needles shed whilst the tree is up, plus expect to have your Hoover out every other day. (What effect does have has on the environment).

(2) Real trees also require watering, to ensure that the tree is not getting too dry."

(3) We also understand that: artificial trees, while being more convenient than real trees, can be initially more expensive than real trees, especially the large Christmas trees however they soon pay for them selves within a couple of years.

(4) Artificial Christmas trees don't require any maintenance like a real Christmas tree.

(5) Artificial Christmas trees in the long term are more economical because you don't have to pay for them every year, and they prevent real Christmas trees from being chopped down.

(6) Artificial Xmas trees are fire proof and also safe for pets, they don't cause the dangers of swallowing needles and are allergy free to all pets.

Off course there are some minuses when purchasing an artificial Christmas tree like the disposal in 15 years or more, or the fact they are manufactured using oil based substance.

Ultimately, when it comes down to it, it is up to you the individual to decide whether a real Christmas tree is better than an artificial Christmas tree or vice versa, there is a larger choice in artificial trees, with slim line artificial Christmas trees, being available in multiple colours to dovetail with your home decoration.
