1. Real Trees are a renewable, recyclable resource. Artificial trees contain non-biodegradable plastics and possible metal toxins such as lead.

2. For every Real Christmas Tree harvested, up to 3 seedlings are planted in its place the following spring.

3. It can take as many as 15 years to grow a tree of average retail sale height (6 - 7 feet) or as little as 4 years, but the average growing time is about 9 years.

4. The top Christmas Tree producing provinces are Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

5. Real trees are environmentally friendly. They:
                 - produce oxygen
                 - sequester carbon
                 - provide shelter for wildlife
                 - help control erosion
                 - are biodegradable

6. Real trees last a month or so after they are cut. But the one you find next year will look even better and your family will remember the experience for a long time.

7. Real trees that are fresh and properly watered and cared for lose few needles and will not support a flame.

8. The largest Christmas tree farm in the world is near Mexico City.
