Merry Trees is New Zealand’s living Christmas tree rental service. Instead of cutting down a tree each year, you can rent a real, potted Christmas tree that keeps growing long after the holidays. Return it to us after Christmas and then if you wish you can rent the same tree again next year. It’s a fun, sustainable way to celebrate while reducing waste.
It’s easy!
Yes! We deliver in North Canterbury and Christchurch city using low‑emission vehicles. When you book, simply enter your address and we’ll confirm if you’re within the delivery zone. You can also pick up directly from us if you prefer.
Your living tree is taken back to our nursery, where it continues to grow and be cared for. Many customers choose to request the same tree each year — creating a unique family tradition as their tree grows over time.
Absolutely! Naming your tree is part of the fun. You can even upload photos and keep track of how much it’s grown when you reunite next Christmas.
Renting a living tree means:
Yes! All Merry Trees are real, living trees grown in pots – never cut. They stay alive, healthy, and ready to grow year after year.
We recommend booking early in the season, as trees are limited and often sell out before December. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Water your tree just once per week and out of direct heat sources (like heaters or fireplaces). We’ll include simple care instructions with every rental.
Yes! Merry Trees are perfect for both homes and workplaces. Many families treat it as a yearly tradition — others use it to bring a touch of nature to the office.
Yes, you can request your named tree to return! It’s a great way to create a living family tradition and see your tree grow with you each Christmas.
