Frequently Asked Questions
What types of trees are available?
They primarily offer native species like spruce, fir, and pine. While they are naturally grown and may not have the perfect uniformity of plantation trees, they are sustainably sourced and have a small ecological footprint.
Can I cut my own tree?
Yes, many locations offer the 'do-it-yourself' option where you can select and cut your own tree. Please check the event details PDF for specific locations and dates offering this service, and remember to bring your own saw.
How are the trees priced?
Trees are typically priced per linear meter (lfm), with prices varying by species and location. Some locations may have specific price lists displayed at the entrance. For example, Fichte might be priced at €9.00/lfm.
How should I transport my tree?
Most sale points offer complimentary netting for your tree to facilitate transport. It's advisable to have a vehicle suitable for carrying a Christmas tree, and to ensure it's secured properly for the journey home.
