Live Christmas trees

If you're looking for a live Christmas tree this year, there are several local options to consider. One option is Noosa Heads Christmas Trees at Pinbarren, a family-owned business selling live Radiata pine Christmas trees. All profits are donated to the charity Inclusive Kids, which aims to raise funds and distribute gifts and food to families and individuals in need this festive season. You can pre-order your tree at: noosachristmastrees.com.

Another choice is to purchase your tree from Gary Kenzler, whose property is located near Lake MacDonald. You can order a tree by contacting Gary on 0415 845 526. The cost of the tree depends on its size, but all money raised is donated to local charity Santa’s Classy Helpers.

This charity raises funds throughout the year for needy families at Christmas time. The funds raised provide groceries, clothing and treats just before Christmas at a “shopping day” held annually in early December at The

J, Noosa Junction. Disadvantaged families are confidentially referred by organisations such as The Salvation Army, Sunny Kids and school chaplains.

The Sunshine Coast Christmas Tree Farm at Beerburrum is another option, where the harvest starts on 30 November and finishes on 20 December. You can pre-order your tree on their website: sunshinecoastchristmastreefarm. com.au.

Additionally, Kandanga Creek Christmas Trees, a small family-run farm south of Gympie, offers beautiful potted trees and handmade wreaths. They are open Saturday 30 November (9am12pm) and Sunday 8 December (9am-12pm) For more information and to preorder visit: kandangacreekchristmastrees.com.

These options not only provide you with a beautiful live Christmas tree but will also support local charitable causes or growers, making your holiday season even more special.
