Where to buy a real Christmas tree in Auckland

  • Last Updated:

If you are thinking about starting a Christmas tradition with your kids, visiting a local Christmas tree farm to choose a real tree is a fun way to begin the season. Around Auckland most farms start tagging trees from early to mid November. It gives families time to wander through the rows choose a tree that suits their home and either collect it later or arrange delivery for December.

Tree farms usually offer a range of sizes, from small apartment friendly trees to tall centrepiece trees for larger living rooms. It is worth measuring your ceiling height first and remembering to leave space for your star or angel at the top.

If you are short on time you can also order online and have a fresh tree delivered to your doorstep. The pine smell brings the festive feeling instantly.

Tips for choosing a real Christmas tree

  • Run your hand along a branch. If lots of needles fall off the tree may be too dry.

  • A tree that feels heavy usually holds more moisture which helps it stay fresh longer.

  • Cut about two to three centimetres from the base before placing it in water to help it absorb moisture.

  • Keep your tree topped up with water every day. Real trees drink more than most people expect in the first week.

  • Avoid placing your tree near direct heat sources. Heat dries the branches quickly.
