1. Which is better: Artificial or live Christmas trees?

The first decision you’ll need to make is whether to buy a live tree or an artificial tree. They have their advantages, but here’s why more families in the USA are choosing live Christmas trees:

Benefits of Live Christmas Trees

• Authentic Holiday Experience: The natural look and fresh pine or herbal fragrance instantly fill your home with holiday cheer.

• Eco-Friendly Choice: Live trees are biodegradable, renewable, and more sustainable than plastic artificial trees.

Drawbacks of artificial trees

• Lacks the fragrance and authenticity of real trees.

• Made from non-biodegradable plastics that are harmful to the environment.

• Although reusable, they often end up in landfills after a few years.

👉 If you want your home to feel cozy, natural, and eco-friendly this Christmas, a live Christmas tree from Pixies Gardens is the best choice.

 

2. Measuring Your Space Before Buying a Christmas Tree

Before you fall in love with a tree, it’s important to measure your space carefully. The wrong-sized tree can overwhelm your room or look too small in a large space.

• Ceiling Height: Always measure the height of your ceiling and leave at least 12–18 inches of space between the top of the tree and the ceiling for a topper like a star or angel.

• Room Size: Large rooms with wide floor space can accommodate fuller trees, such as a Cypress Christmas Tree, while smaller apartments or offices may benefit from a Mini Christmas Tree or Rosemary Tree.

• Width and Spread: A narrow tree works well in tight spaces, while fuller trees look best in open living areas.

Measuring your space in advance ensures your tree fits perfectly without crowding the room.
