Real trees versus fake trees

Real trees versus fake trees

Brendan Burke, Author

     Tis the season of setting up a tree inside your home. Whether you have a real tree or fake tree is up to you, but there are some things to consider.

     Some cons about real trees are that you can’t keep them forever and they will eventually die. Another con is that they require constant maintenance. They are also very messy and might have bugs. Some pros are that they get you into the holiday spirit. They also smell awesome and are biodegradable.                            Some cons about fake trees are that they can be upwards of 60 dollars. Most of the time they are made of plastic so they stay in the environment. They also don’t help the environment. Some pros are that if you keep it for many years, you’ll save money. It’s also very easy to build them. Most of the fake trees are also flame retardant too.                                                                                                                                       So, whether you decide on a real or fake tree, consider the pros and cons and either way, just be merry.
