A Sustainable Christmas Tree

With Christmas Day, and the many traditions and festivities that come with it just over the horizon, it's almost time to rearrange the furniture and set aside some space for the beloved Christmas tree. The Christmas tree has origins which most often date back as far as the renaissance in Germany, however there are many contested theories of origins preceding this.

Although the traditional christmas tree is generally considered to be an evergreen conifer, many alternative designs have been created throughout history. The first artificial tree was also introduced in Germany, in the 19th Century.

It has a rich history and has long been viewed as one of the most important and globally widespread symbols of Christmas. Not only loved for its aesthetic value with a vast amount of decorations decking out its branches from top to toe, the Christmas tree also perpetuates the buildup towards Christmas throughout December, and of course it is also the cause of extreme excitement for kids as the host of Santa's treasured christmas presents.

Since then a plethora of artificial trees have been created, meeting the different needs of various times. And of course one of the most pressing issues in the modern era is sustainability. Enter the eco-friendly christmas tree, One Two Tree.

The One Two Tree's  branches rotating around its central trunk, which lets you change the design each year. The wood comes from plantation pine in Queensland. This environmentally sustainable, reusable tree is an eco friendly way to enjoy your christmas with a modern twist, and a great way to test your creativity with its endless possibilities for presentation.
