Santa's Tree Farm

Description

Each year 25-30 million Americans select and take home an evergreen tree to decorate with ornaments and lights fo the holidays. Your Christmas Tree has been intentionally grown for your enjoyment, and is a renewable source. 98% of the trees sold are grown on farms as a crop. 2% come from natural stands. Christmas trees are often grown on land that is unsuitable for farming. By utilizing these fields, tree farmers help to control soil erosion and provide year-round homes for wildlife. One acre of Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirement for 18 people. During photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. For every tree harvested, up to three seedlings are planted in its place. This is even better for the environment because young trees have a greater rate of photosynthesis than older trees they have replaced. Artifical trees contain non-biodegradable plastics and possible metal toxins such as lead.Be sure the tree is well supported in a water-holding stand and is away from fireplaces, radiators, TV sets, and other heat sources. These elements can prematurely dry your tree.
