RENTED Christmas trees are growing in popularity because of concerns about the millions which end up in landfill each year, according to a farm shop.
Kilnford Farm Shop, in Dumfries and Galloway, began renting potted Christmas trees three years ago, amid ecological concerns.
The trees are expected to be rented to the same families for about a decade, before potentially being rented commercially when they are too big.
After they have reached their lifespan, the fir trees will be “retired” to the farm, and will provide a wildlife haven.
The farm shop delivers to neighbouring postcodes, and prices range between £48 to £63 depending on the size, with a £15 returnable deposit.
