Where to buy a Christmas tree in Greater Vancouver
Our list of where to buy a Christmas tree in the Greater Vancouver area.
The hunt for the great Vancouver Christmas tree is on.
Will it be vinyl, farmed or you-cut?
If environmental sustainability tops your wish list, an evergreen is the greenest choice. Evergreens are renewable, remove carbon from the air while they're growing, and are 100% biodegradable after use.
If that evergreen aroma is what you're after, go for a Grand Fir; for longevity a Noble or Fraser Fir are best; while a Douglas Fir has that perfect pyramidal shape. Let the experts at these Vancouver area farms and lots help you find the best of Christmas trees.
