Where to Buy Live & Artificial Christmas Tree in Singapore

Christmas trees are such an integral part of Christmas tradition that it’s hard to imagine a time when they weren’t around. But did you know that Christmas trees have been in use since the first Christmas tree was decorated in the late 1400s (either in Latvia or Estonia, it’s still being debated), but that they only became really popular when Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III, introduced the custom to England from her native Germany in 1800? Or that candles were used to illuminate the trees (which was as much of a fire risk as they sound) until electric lights were invented in the United States in 1882?

Nowadays many families who celebrate Christmas, and even some that don’t, like to have a tree in their house each December (or even earlier for the real Christmas fanatics). Decorating the Christmas tree can be a great shared activity for the whole family, and the hanging of traditional decorations can bring back warm memories of Christmas past. But is it better to get an artificial tree or a real one and where can you buy Christmas trees in Singapore? The answer to the first question is not straightforward as there are a number of factors to consider. Some people prefer artificial trees as they don’t shed needles, they can be used for many years, and many are fire retardant. Others prefer real trees as they look and smell more authentic and are disposed of after use and therefore don’t need to be stored in the home. One thing is certain – the Singapore climate and air conditioned homes are not ideal for real trees so they need to be watered every few days to make sure that the bottom of the tree’s trunk, where it was cut, is kept damp. But whichever option you choose – real tree or artificial tree – we can recommend some places to buy them.
