Did you, could you, would you rent your christmas tree?

London Christmas Tree Rental allows customers to borrow real, potted Christmas trees.
In January of 2018, Londoners Catherine Loveless and Jonathan Mearns became fed up with all the discarded Christmas trees lining the streets of their city, destined for landfill. So, they founded London Christmas Tree Rental, a company that rents out pot-grown Norway Spruce trees around Christmastime, with the motto #adoptdontchop.



Interesting idea. Personally i don't do live trees but if I did I can say I would.

I understand many tree types can remain in a container for decades. Not all obviously but many.

This is a Spruce tree so it will keep growing.

Depends on the type of spruce a 100 footer probably wouldn't do well in a container but there are miniature ones.

Maybe donate it to the city and they can plant it in a park or something.

Maybe this is cause I don’t formally celebrate Christmas, but I don’t understand why one needs a real tree when they could buy a fake one to reuse over and over

I didn't buy mine--my sister sent it to me for Christmas. lol

Yeah, I'm gonna try calling Park & Rec after Christmas and see if they can plant it in my local park. I'm not going to just throw a living tree out like garbage! razz lol

That would defeat the purpose of the gift. Still it wouldn't create years of problems in the landfill or runoff to the oceans.

I'm sure most if not all cities have some kind of tree planting program.
