Fake tree. Easier, safer, less messy. Yeah, it's plastic, but it lasts as long as you want to keep using it. We just got a new one because we needed a skinny one for space reasons. But the old one we had for over a decade, and we sold it on to someone else.
Still deciding.
- I have fond childhood memories of traipsing through a tree farm until we found the right one, then taking turns using the old two handled buck saw we carried out, then trying to work as a team to carrry a massive tree back
- now I live in an urban area with no nearby tree farm. I’m sticking spending well over $100 and I don’t have a car with roof rack to carry it.
Sometimes I use an artificial tree and sometimes I goto Home Depot as the most reasonably priced place to get a real one. Last year the selection at Home Depot was bad plus they were all small so I spent twice as much at a higher end place
Real. I can't stand fake things, especially fake nature. Wood veneers, marble painted plaster laminates, LVT, no no no. I'd sooner have no tree at all.
I use an artificial, don't see the point of cutting down a whole tree for it to slowly die in your house over a month to then throw it out after.
If there were more services where you could rent the tree and then it gets put back in the ground after the season I would be all for it.
Artificial trees you buy once and you don't need to replace it for years if not decades. Though would prefer if they started making them with biodegradable plastic
