Where does it happen?

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

  • It drives the engine of life on Earth. Plants, including Christmas trees, get their food through this process.
  • It occurs in the leaves of plants. In the case of Christmas trees, it happens in the needles.

How does it happen?

  • First you need sunlight.
  • Then you need carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Christmas Tree

Roots and Christmas Tree

  • Then you need a plant, in this case, a Christmas tree.
  • Specifically, you need tree roots.

Absorbing Microscopic Water Droplets

  • The tree roots absorb microscopic water droplets in the soil. They travel throughout the tree to the needles.
  • Photosynthesis occurs in the needles when these water droplets meet with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – in the presence of sunlight.

Tree creates carbs for food.

  • The tree creates carbohydrates for food. And oxygen and water vapor are released.
  • People need oxygen to survive and Christmas trees provide oxygen.
  • Christmas trees make the world beautiful. They beautify the farm and like these trees, they are ready to beautify your yard.

Worried that cutting a Christmas tree hurts the environment? Don't.

Young trees create more oxygen than old trees.
For every tree cut, the producer plants 2 or 3 new trees the following spring.
