Not got your tree yet? Don’t worry. Finding the perfect Christmas tree is a beloved tradition, but it is important to stay environmentally conscious. That’s why for this list we are selecting for only places where you can find sustainably sourced trees. And, if you really want to go the extra mile, there are a few places further afield where you can swing the axe yourself and chop down your own fir tree!
Bio Trees
Kieztanne
Here, the slogan is “the tree from your grove”, and you can find organic Nordmann and Nobilis firs from the Schulte Göbel company, based in North Rhine-Westphalia at the Kieztanne in Friedrichshain. With trees ranging from between one and four meters in size, Kieztanne is open every Advent weekend and prices start from 25 euros.
- Kieztanne, Libauer Str. 22, Friedrichshain, details.
Hirsch & Eber
This Prenzlauer Berg establishment is a restaurant that also sells Christmas trees. Not just a restaurant in fact but a “wild grill” serving sustainable game shot by hunters in Brandenburg. It makes sense, then, that they are also dedicated to providing regional, sustainable options for Christmas trees. Again from the Schulte-Göbel company in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hirsch & Ebers trees are sold during the restaurant’s regular opening hours, with prices starting from 35 euros.
- Hirsch & Eber, Kollwitzstr. 87, Prenzlauer Berg, trees on sale weekends 12 – 20:00, details.
Domäne Dahlem
If you want to make a day of it, you can head down to the Advent Market at the Domäne Dahlem estate. Open every Advent weekend, here you can enjoy a range of festive activities while you collect your tree, such as a tractor ride across the wintry estate and listening to Christmas music by a live brass quartet. Their organic trees come from the Schulte-Göbel company in Schmallenberg-Felbecke.
- Domäne Dahlem, Königin-Luise-Str. 49, Dahlem, Dec. 1st – 3rd. / 8th – 10th / 15th – 17th, details.

Based in Zehlendorf and Steglitz, Berliner Tannenquelle offers Naturland Nordmann firs from the Günther Marx Gmbh company in Rieneck, alongside their range of non-organic trees. The dedicated staff will help you with every aspect of the process, from choosing your tree to arranging its delivery. Trees are on sale at Berliner Tannenquelle until December 24th.

- Guschke Plant Center & Garden Nursery, Hohentwielsteig 30, Zehlendorf, details

Ikea
For one of the most convenient options for this year’s bio-Baum, take a trip to your local Ikea! With their certified bio firs originating from Volker Grüber’s cultures in Halver and Meschede, the Scandi favourite is an affordable and convenient option for a more sustainable festive season. The trees are on sale until December 23rd, but be sure to pay attention to the organic label, as not all of their trees are certified bio.

Cut Your Own Tree
You can even take DIY a step further and chop down your own tree!
