Organic Christmas trees?

Can an organic, natural Christmas tree be produced? Of course, but what a waste. Letting a potential Christmas tree stand uncut, live and grow will bring more cheer and long-term benefits than having it cut down for a mere decor for 30 days. I prefer a Christmas tree that is not a real tree but instead made of natural, durable, reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable materials. Creativity and imagination are other qualities that I look for in this sort of Christmas tree. Preferably it should be a work of love.

Well, I've never thought about an organic Christmas tree, but perhaps a large part of the reason for that is because of the fact that we've used artificial Christmas trees in our house since I was a young girl (my little sister is highly allergic to pine). With that said, I think the benefit of bringing an organic Christmas tree into your home would be that there wouldn't be remains of pesticides that were inadvertantly brought into your home.

In addition to pesticides, there are fertilizers, and then there is a sealer that gets sprayed on them, oh, and a color coat, and if you want you can have flocking sprayed on them. After they run off in the waterways, all these chemicals leave residue on your tree that you take into your home. They may give off toxic fumes, they may rub off on your hands, be absorbed through your skin and deposit themselves in your liver. Until you started this discussion I had never thought of all these things that they do to our "live" trees that we go cut. I never thought of the possibility of an organic tree.

Never heard of such a thing, but frankly....how far will they go? Or maybe I should say, how stupid can they be? I mean really...organic christmas tree? Are you serious? But odds are those that get an organic tree, will just toss it in the trash...and not take it to be recycled so how have they helped anything?!! If they want to be really helpful...why not NOT buy a real tree? Better to let them grow and save the environment as opposed to cutting a live tree and then just putting it in the trash! Sorry, this one is just to over the top for me!

I have never heard of an organic Christmas tree, however it wouldn't surprise me that someone is trying to get into a new sales market! Let me first state, that I LOVE a fresh cut Christmas tree and we do cut down our own each and every year. I try to do my part with the environment and all that, and we actually have discussed in my family not cutting down a Christmas tree this coming year. My thoughts are, if people are wanting to help the environment thinking an organic tree is the way to go, they really are wrong. An artificial tree would make more sense in the long run..right?

I haven't heard about an organic Christmas tree. Anyway, whether it is organic or not, I think there's no big difference because you will just look at it.

I have never heard of an organic Christmas Tree, I guess I hadn't realized that those growing the trees for our holidays would use anything but natural sun, water and fertilizers. I guess though they do this to kill off the bugs that would feed off the tree and make it turn brown faster, who is to say. It's an interesting concept but I doubt it does any harm to us directly other then as you said water pollution.

I would choose organic. I am very sensitive to chemicals. The regular trees make retain enough chemical to pollute my home.

I have never heard of an organic Christmas tree at all. That is strange, I prefer just a real or a fake one doesn't really matter but I don't think I would get an organic one at all. Have a nice day.

I have never even imagined an organic tree. How unusual but then with so many products today going green, I guess it is possible. Organic sounds expensive, and expensive to later discard seems like not so green. Unless they have handy tips with them so that one can reuse it somehow later. lo. I would not consider and organic tree as personally I think it would be way too expensive for the one holiday.

I have never heard of an organic tree as we don't use live trees here as Christmas trees in our country. We use plastic trees to decorate during Christmas because our country doesn't have enough pine trees and it would be burdensome to cut trees and placed them in the house.

I've Bought both trees at least 3 times each, the non organic trees have pesticides that can cause brain damage if inhaled to much, or digestional problems if it gets into your system, they are chemicals that can be washed out of your body eventually but we already take in so many uneeded chemicals from everyday life, cars, clothes, food, air, its all attacking our body from all the little stuff that companies think doesn't do any harm in small doses. So if you really care about protecting your body i suggest organic Christmas trees:D
