A Belgian Christmas tree is, first of all, a tree grown in Belgium

“Belgian Christmas tree” can mean many things: sold in Belgium, packed in Belgium… For us, it means one simple thing: the tree grew on a Belgian plantation. It was planted there young, tended and pruned season after season, then cut and prepared for you.

Wallonia is one of Europe's major Christmas tree growing regions. According to Apaq-W, it produces around 2 million trees a year, nearly 85% of which are exported. Production is concentrated mainly in Luxembourg province and the south of Namur province. In other words, excellent Christmas trees grow right here. You just need to be able to buy one without it taking a detour.

Our trees come from the Ardennes, near Redu

We work with a major Belgian producer in the Ardennes, in the Redu area (municipality of Libin, Luxembourg province). The cool climate, altitude and soils of the Ardennes suit conifers well: it is in this landscape of forests and plantations that our Nordmann firs and spruces grow.

Working directly with an identified producer means we know where the trees we deliver come from, and we can tell you clearly.

The Nordmann: a species from the Caucasus, a tree grown here

The Nordmann fir (Abies nordmanniana) originates from the Caucasus. It is the species that comes from far away, not our trees: the ones we sell were grown in Belgium. It is popular all over Europe for its qualities: soft needles that don't prick, dense foliage and excellent needle retention indoors.

Spruce, on the other hand, is the traditional Christmas tree of our grandparents: more fragrant and more affordable, but it drops its needles faster in a heated home. Not sure? Our guide to choosing a real Christmas tree.

From the plantation to your living room: a short supply chain

  1. Growing. The tree grows for several years on the Ardennes plantation. It is pruned regularly to get a nice conical shape.
  2. Selection. In autumn, the trees are graded by height and quality: shape, density, straight top.
  3. Cutting. The trees are cut shortly before the delivery season, not weeks in advance.
  4. Preparation. Each tree is wrapped in netting and, as you choose, fitted on a cross stand or delivered with a water stand.
  5. Delivery. It leaves for your address, anywhere in Belgium, on the date you chose.

No central buyer abroad, no long storage in a warehouse. Want to know more about plantation work? How a Nordmann Christmas tree is grown.

What proximity actually changes

A fresher tree

A cut tree starts losing moisture as soon as it is cut. The fewer days between the plantation and your living room, the better it lasts. That is the most concrete benefit of a local tree: it reaches you in good condition and stays beautiful longer over the holidays.

Fewer kilometres

Between the Ardennes and your home, the journey is counted in hours, not days. That is a much shorter distance than for a tree grown in a more distant producing country and then shipped to Belgium.

A clear origin

You know where your tree grew: in Belgium, in the Ardennes, with a producer we work with directly.

Jobs that stay here

According to Apaq-W, the Walloon Christmas tree sector accounts for around 1,000 full-time equivalent jobs. By buying a tree grown in Belgium, you support local plantations, nurseries and hauliers.

What we don't claim

Because “local tree” shouldn't become a vague argument, let's be precise:

  • Our trees are not certified organic. They are grown in Belgium, without an organic label.
  • A cut tree is not “zero impact”. Growing, cutting and delivery all have an environmental cost. Proximity mainly reduces transport distances compared with a tree from further away.
  • Remember to recycle. After the holidays, take your tree to your municipality's collection point: it will be processed, usually into compost or wood chips.

Frequently asked questions about our Belgian trees

Our real Christmas trees are grown in Belgium, by a producer in the Belgian Ardennes, in the Redu area (municipality of Libin, Luxembourg province).

Is the Nordmann fir a Belgian tree?

The species originates from the Caucasus, but it has long been grown in Belgium, especially in the Ardennes. Our Nordmann firs grew on a Belgian plantation: they are Belgian trees in the sense of where they were grown.

Where can I buy a Christmas tree grown in Belgium?

On sapinbelge.be, you order online a tree from the Belgian Ardennes, delivered to your home anywhere in Belgium on the date of your choice.

Are your trees organic?

No. Our trees are not certified organic. Their strength is their origin: they are grown in Belgium, by a producer from the Ardennes.

When are your trees cut?

They are cut shortly before the season, for deliveries in late November and December. That way, your tree spends as little time as possible between the plantation and your living room.

Why choose a local tree rather than an imported one?

A tree grown in Belgium travels less before it reaches you. It is therefore usually fresher on delivery, its origin is known, and your purchase supports the Belgian sector.

Do you deliver all over Belgium?

Yes, we deliver throughout Belgium for €10, on the date you choose. All delivery information.
