Christmas tree purchase: Attention in front of a rip-off in Berlin!

The pre-Christmas period in Berlin not only brings gifts, but also the large Christmas tree dilemma. According to Berlin Live , many Berliners are faced with the challenge of paying attention to deception when buying a Christmas tree. Christmas trees in the pot that are advertised as sustainable are becoming increasingly popular. But experts warn of the risks: "A fir has a long main root that is so deep in a meter -high tree that it does not fit into a pot," explains Wiebke Peters from fir paradise. Often the root has to be cut off, which significantly reduces the chances of successful planting after Christmas.

The risks when buying a Christmas tree

Andreas Frädrich von Christmas Urwald confirms these concerns. He warns of cut out trees that are often sold in hardware stores. "The root will be destroyed. Customers think they buy fresh trees, but they are often shortly before die," he emphasizes. The upper layers of earth have often dried out completely, which perfects the deception. However, Frädrich also offers real, sustainable trees in its range that can be rented or buy, and offers a six-month remedy guarantee to ensure that the trees actually survive.

In the meantime, plant lovers have started to liven up their little gardens with the trend of bucket trees. As explains Plantopedia , there are a variety of trees that can thrive both in the garden and in flower chips, with particularly small and weak ornamental trees suitable. These plants can live for several decades as long as their winter hardness and the location are right. When choosing the trees for buckets, it is important to choose the right size and shape of the pots to ensure optimal growth and to prevent the roots from drying out.
