Why Choose A Real Tree - Ballykelly Christmas Trees

Eco-Friendly

Real Christmas trees remove Carbon dioxide (C02) from the atmosphere and add oxygen (O2).
1 Christmas tree can release 50kg or more of O2.
Real Christmas trees are biodegradable.
They are broken down by micro-organisms in the soil which aids soil health.
It is important to dispose of Christmas trees responsibly (rather than landfill).
We collect trees after Christmas and recycle them into mulch. There are also many recycling centre’s for Christmas trees across Dublin and Ireland.
Christmas trees provide a habitat for wildlife.
Real Christmas trees are far better for the environment than artificial trees.

Real trees provide a livelihood for hundreds of farmers across Ireland dedicated to producing quality Christmas trees.
They are grown from nurseries for 3 to 4 years and for a further 7 to 10 years by farmers. Care for the real tree is provided by skilled workers and this provides a job stimulus in local economies in rural areas.
They add to Irelands export market. More trees are grown than there is home demand so they positively influence Ireland’s balance of trade.
They reduce the need for foreign imports of artificial trees, predominantly from China.

Real Christmas trees have a lovely pine fragrance.
The different varieties of real Christmas tree provide a beautiful array of green shades and glows, and needle structure and shape.
No two real trees are exactly the same – each one will have its own variation of colour, shape and size – so whichever one you choose will be uniquely yours.
