The tradition of putting a tree up during Christmas started in the 16th century. Christmas trees are evergreens, and they represented everlastingness and good luck in medieval times.

 It is widely thought that the practice of bringing evergreen conifer trees into the house and decorating them for Christmas was popularized by Martin Luther, one of the founders of Protestant Christianity.  He apparently brought in a tree from a nearby forest, and his family decorated it with candles. 

After that, the practice spread all over Germany and onwards to Europe.Today, people all over the world put up evergreen conifer trees during Christmas. Popular decorations include bells, tiny baubles, fairy lights and a star for the top of the tree.

Plastic vs Fresh Christmas Trees in Singapore

In most temperate countries, getting a fresh conifer tree as a Christmas tree is very common. These trees are commonly sold as the winter season approaches. In Singapore however, getting a fresh Christmas tree is something of a challenge.

This is because Singapore is a tropical country, and fresh Christmas trees have to be imported. Due to this, many Singaporeans go for plastic trees.

Plastic trees are really convenient and can be reused every Christmas. They’re also easier to clean and don’t leave residues on your floor, and have no risk of attracting bugs or other pests.

However, fresh Christmas trees are becoming popular now too. This is because a live Christmas tree offers unique pine scents that plastic ones don’t have. Additionally, live Christmas trees in Singapore are also eco-friendly and have lower carbon footprint, and are biodegradable. 

Whether you choose to buy a real Christmas tree or a plastic Christmas tree in Singapore, there are many places to get them. Here, we’ve highlighted where to buy cheap Christmas trees in Singapore

  1. Far East Flora

Far East Flora is one Singapore Christmas tree shop that sells live Christmas trees. You will be able to pre-order your fresh Christmas tree once the Christmas season draws near. The type of tree they usually bring in is the Noble Fir tree, which is able to withstand Singapore’s warm tropical weather pretty well. 

However, to have a live tree also means not being able to keep it for the next year, as it will eventually decay. This means that you’ll have to buy another tree again next Christmas. 

Fresh trees can also be slightly more challenging to maintain, as their leaves and branches can leave residues on your floor, and be able to attract insects. You’ll have to check on your tree regularly to keep it clean and pretty.
