Every year since 1947, the city of Oslo in Norway has given a tree to London's
Trafalgar Square.
• It
is estimated that 8 million Christmas trees are sold in the UK each year.
• A
typical 6 to 7 feet high Christmas tree is between 10 and 12 years old.
•A
real Christmas tree bought locally has a much lower carbon footprint than an
artificial tree.
•
Tinsel for Christmas tree decorations once contained lead and was banned by the
government- now it's made of plastic.
•
The tradition of decorating trees started to be popular in England in the
1800’s.
• A
whole load of bugs could live in your Christmas tree. The major insects
include: adelgids, aphids, bark beetles, mites, praying mantises, psocids,
scale insects, spiders, moths, sawflies, weevils, bark lice, and webworms.
They find it really difficult to unwrap their Christmas presents so
please have the Christmas spirit and help them.
