With the arrival of December, Christmas tree fairs have already started operating in Ukraine. It is better to buy them from state forestry enterprises, as they operate completely legally and pay taxes, thus replenishing the budget of local communities. The cost of Christmas trees has not changed much and remained at the level of last year's prices.

It's worth remembering that unauthorized felling of trees in Ukraine is punishable by a fine of UAH 599 to UAH 4,132. In addition, felling not only violates the law but also causes significant environmental damage. And in some regions, unauthorized felling of trees is dangerous due to the threat of mines in the forests.

Here's a closer look at where and for how much Ukrainians can buy a Christmas tree in different regions.

In our previous article, we told you which Ukrainian cities have already lit Christmas trees and what they look like.

Where are Christmas trees sold in Vinnytsia, Cherkasy and Kirovohrad regions?

The Central Forestry Office reports that local foresters have already harvested 26,500 Christmas trees. Such volumes of felling do not harm the environment, as the trees are grown on special plantations.

The forestry's product range includes ordinary and Crimean pines, ordinary and Canadian fir trees. The price depends on the species, height and quality of the tree. For example, a 1.5-2 meter high Christmas tree will cost between 180 and 330 UAH, and a pine tree of the same size will cost between 156 and 308 UAH.

Legally harvested Christmas trees must be equipped with special tags or chips with a unique barcode. This marking contains information about the origin of the tree and confirms its legality.

Enter the barcode or tag number on the special website of the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine to get detailed information about the origin of the tree.

Buy Christmas trees at official fairs or in specialized retail outlets where sellers have all the necessary documents confirming the legality of harvesting and selling trees.
