At Aussie Real Christmas Tree Melbourne, every Christmas tree we offer is a testament to nature’s perfection and our dedicated craftsmanship. Nestled at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, our Christmas tree farm is located at an elevation of approximately 285 meters (935 feet) above sea level. This unique location plays a crucial role in the quality of the trees we grow, offering the perfect environment to nurture stunning, healthy, and full-bodied trees that adorn homes during the festive season.

The Dandenong Ranges: The Perfect Environment for Christmas Trees

The Dandenong Ranges are known for their cool climate and well-drained soil, making them an ideal location for growing real Christmas trees. The region’s slightly elevated terrain ensures that our trees are grown in cooler temperatures compared to the rest of Melbourne, helping them develop strong, robust branches and vibrant green needles. The rich volcanic soil here provides the necessary nutrients for the trees to thrive, producing a lush and healthy appearance that is hard to find elsewhere.

The weather in this region is also particularly favorable for tree growth. Mild summers, adequate rainfall, and cool winters create the perfect conditions for growing high-quality Christmas trees. The consistent moisture allows the trees to maintain their fresh, green foliage, while the cool climate helps prevent the trees from drying out, ensuring that they stay fresh longer once they are cut and delivered to your home. The combination of elevation, soil, and climate makes our Christmas trees some of the finest available in Melbourne.

Pruning: The Art of Crafting the Perfect Christmas Tree

Growing a Christmas tree isn’t just about planting and waiting; it’s a process that requires careful attention to detail, especially when it comes to pruning. We prune our Christmas trees twice a year to ensure they grow into that iconic cone shape that is synonymous with Christmas celebrations.

The first pruning takes place in the early spring, allowing us to remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the tree as it begins its annual growth cycle. This helps the tree focus its energy on growing strong, healthy branches and lush foliage. The second pruning happens in late autumn, right before the festive season. This is our final touch, where we perfect the shape of the tree and ensure that it is ready to bring holiday joy into homes across Melbourne.

Pruning is both an art and a science. It allows us to carefully manage the tree’s growth to ensure that it has full, dense branches that can easily support lights and ornaments. We also ensure that the trees maintain an even, symmetrical shape that is pleasing to the eye. The result? A beautiful, picture-perfect Christmas tree that is ready to be the centerpiece of your holiday celebrations.
