There’s nothing like the smell of a fresh pine tree filling the house in December. Better still when your tree money goes straight back to local Scouts and schools.
Most groups take pre-orders and a few will even deliver. They sell out fast every year so don’t leave it too late.

Keep it green until Christmas
- Saw a couple of centimetres off the base if it wasn’t freshly cut on the day. This helps it drink.
- Get it into water straight away and top up daily. A fresh tree can drink a lot in the first week.
- Keep it away from heaters, air con vents and sunny windows.
When Christmas is over
Lane Cove Council usually runs a free Christmas tree chipping service for residents in early January. Trees are dropped near the skate ramp at Blackman Park in Lane Cove West. We’ll share the 2027 dates as soon as they’re out.
