We know you’re one of those people who love to have a natural Christmas tree since, besides filling the air with a refreshing scent, it provides us with an opportunity to continue the tradition with family and help the farmers from the State of Mexico. That’s why we’re here to tell you about the most popular places to buy your Christmas tree.
In the State of Mexico, there are over 600 Christmas tree plantations, with approximately 450,000 specimens where producers are dedicated to this plant cultivation. So, there’s no excuse; it’s essential to consume Mexican products during this December period.
Why choose a Mexican tree?
Firstly, the price. The prices of Christmas trees produced in the state range from $400 pesos to $800 pesos. It’s possible that some places may exceed $1,000 pesos due to the tree’s height. Regardless of the tree type you choose, you’ll always find competitive costs compared to the 2,000 to 3,000 pesos that trees from Canada and the United States cost.
Unlike trees imported from abroad, Mexican trees are of different species; most arrive dehydrated and have been imported to Mexican territory for months, stored in a cold climate, losing branches and leaves during their stay.
It’s always better to choose Mexican plants because they provide a fresher, lusher, and greener Christmas space. The experience of choosing your tree, accompanied by your loved ones, visiting a town, and exploring the best parts of the State of Mexico adds to the charm.
