Are you looking to cut your own tree?

So, if you are looking for a family outing where you need to use a little more elbow grease than usual, then felling your own tree may be just the thing.

Taunus Weihnachtsbaum

Taunus Weihnachtsbaum offers both the option to pick up your tree and the option to cut your own tree.  If you want to cut your own tree, they have specific times and appointments when available.  And this year, they begin the first Advent weekend and are open each Advent weekend there after.

Why not rent your Christmas Tree in a pot??

Weihnachtsbaumfreunde

Honestly this is one of the coolest sustainable idea’s we’ve seen in a while!  Because if we really took a minute to think about the number of trees that are chopped down each year in the name of Christmas, well we may need to shed more than a few tears.

Armed with a mission to spend more time together as a family and to give some Christmas trees the opportunity for life after Christmas Weinachtsbaumfreunde was born.  Like everything in life, there is always a learning curve!  And what Weihnachtsbaumfreunde soon come to learn was how high quality trees which are grown in pots without their roots being trimmed have a very real chance of living to tell the tale and coming back for another season!  So, this is what you will find if you choose to rent your tree in a pot!

Also, they do delivery and pick up!!

The have 2 Locations:
