Live tree or artificial? It’s an age-old debate we won’t be solving today. But either way, if your holiday décor included any version of a Christmas tree, it’s time to start thinking about taking it down.

It’s important to remember you should never burn a tree in your fireplace or stove. Live trees are extremely flammable and can cause a flare-up or chimney fire. Also, do not feed your tree to any animals. Whether an indoor pet or farm animal, trees can be mildly toxic and pine needles, if consumed, can cause intestinal irritation or puncture. 

Lowe’s continues to work toward becoming a more sustainable company with its products, operations and community service. Learn more about Lowe’s Corporate Responsibility.
