Frequently Asked Questions
Popular customer FAQ about our Christmas tree farm in Cork
How Do I Choose the Right Christmas Tree?
When selecting your perfect Christmas tree, consider three key factors: height, width, and variety. Measure your space before visiting, including ceiling height and room width. Our Nordmann Fir is most popular for families, offering excellent needle retention and soft foliage, whilst our Noble Fir is ideal for heavy decorations and traditional fragrance. Our expert staff are always available to help you find the perfect match for your home.
How Do I Care for My Christmas Tree?
For maximum freshness and longevity (4-6 weeks), follow these essential care steps:
Make a fresh cut across the base (1/2 inch above original cut) before setting up
Place in water within 8 hours of cutting
Use a quality stand that holds at least 1 litre of water
Check water levels daily – a fresh tree can drink up to 2 litres per day
Position away from radiators, fireplaces, and direct sunlight
Maintain room temperature below 19°C if possible
How Long Does It Take to Grow Christmas Trees?
Our trees require at least 8 years of careful cultivation to reach the standard 6-foot height. This extended growing period reflects our commitment to quality and sustainable farming practices. For every tree harvested, we plant three new saplings, creating a continuous cycle of growth that supports both our business and the environment. During their growth period, our trees:
Absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide
Provide wildlife habitats
Prevent soil erosion
Contribute to groundwater management

How Long Does a Real Christmas Tree Last?
A freshly cut Christmas tree typically lasts between 4-5 weeks with proper care. Our farm-fresh trees, when well-maintained, can stay vibrant through the entire holiday season. For maximum longevity, keep your tree watered daily and away from heat sources. We provide water holding stands and complimentary feed sachets along with your tree.
What Makes Our Growing Process Special?
Our farm employs an innovative year-round cultivation cycle:
Early Winter: Precision pruning and shaping of each tree
Spring: Ground preparation and organic fertilizer application
Early Summer: Critical growth management including bud picking and leader control
Late Summer: Harvest preparation and marking
Autumn to Winter: Final shaping and preparation for sale. Then harvest time.
What Makes a Real Tree More Sustainable?
Our Christmas trees provide significant environmental benefits through our unique farming approach. Our trees offer:
Carbon sequestration through both stems (60%) and root systems (40%)
Continuous carbon storage from our rotational planting system, where stumps and roots remain in the ground
Enhanced soil enrichment through natural pruning cycles and organic farming methods
Natural flood prevention and soil structure improvement, protecting the River Lee
Over 4,600 meters of wildlife corridors and natural habitats, storing an additional 13.57 tonnes of carbon annuallyA two-for-one replanting commitment: three new trees planted for each one harvested
Natural grazing by Shropshire sheep instead of mechanical mowing or herbicides
These practices are verified by the Carbon Credit Group in Ireland and demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship while providing the highest quality Christmas trees for Cork families.
