Unfortunately, this year, we were unable to organize another pick-up in all cities where we have been active in recent years. However, a number of new cities have been added. Don't worry because you can also have your BeterBoompje delivered to your home WITH AND WITHOUT a root ball this year. For more information, see the menu under “Delivery”.

When the time comes to pick up your tree, you will come to the pick up location of your choice. After you've parked your car or bike, follow the signs that lead you to your tree. Keep your phone with your ticket ready so that it can be scanned by one of our employees. Has your ticket been scanned? Then your tree will be handed over. The tree with a root ball comes without net/packaging, which is so sustainable:)

Although the name suggests otherwise, no tree is better than the other. All BeterBoompjes are unique! If possible, you can find it out! They are all of good quality so don't worry if we choose one for you. This is because we do this to make picking up the trees as smooth (and corona-proof) as possible. We also want to prevent the BeterBoompjes from being damaged as much as possible, which is why it is not desirable if we walk between the trees with too many people.

No, unfortunately this is not possible. The BeterBoompjes with a root ball are planted back into nature once and have not been grown as adoptive trees. In addition, there are still far too few adoptive Christmas trees at all. The new seedlings that we plant are, however, grown as adoptive trees. Together, we will ensure that more adoption trees are available in a few years!

There is no such thing as saying goodbye. Oh wait. Yes, though. This is because after the holidays, you hand in your tree WITH the root ball to us so that we can plant it back in the forest. You will return your MET rootball to a pick-up location in early January 2025 (see info and times per city under “Drop off locations”). To get your deposit back, there are a few requirements that your BeterBoompje must meet. This is how we check whether your tree still has beautiful green branches and whether there is enough soil on the root ball. Have you given your tree enough love, water and attention? Then you will get your tenner deposit back. The deposit will be refunded to your account in January (after returning it).

The deposit will be refunded to your account in January (after returning it).

There is both a net around the tree WITHOUT and the tree WITH a root ball. The tree with a root ball has a plastic or coconut pot around the root ball, 30 cm high and 20 cm in diameter. TIP: Use a duvet cover to put in the tree!

A BeterBoompje is a sustainable version of the traditional disposable Christmas tree that is put on the street after the holidays. If you choose a BeterBoompje, you will help build the forest. Here we plant the root ball Christmas trees back after they have spent Christmas with you. For each tree without a root ball, we plant back two organic adoptive tree cuts. According to our strategy, this last option is an interim solution to change the market and ensure that the shortage of adoption trees is solved.

- The BeterBoompje with a root ball is placed back into nature and thus removes CO2 from the air for the rest of its second life. - For each BeterBoompje without a root ball, we plant two new adopted Christmas tree cuts back into the Christmas tree forest. These Christmas trees will be maintained sustainably in the coming years. A healthy ecosystem has priority here; we focus on healthy soil and stimulate biodiversity. The seedlings are thus prepared into full-fledged reusable bio-adoption trees that are replaced annually.

Just imagine: A nice place where your Christmas tree can have its feet in the dirt all year round. Cosy among the other trees. With sun, wind and rain that alternate and where the birds sing instead of Mariah Carey. During the holidays, your Christmas tree takes a trip to your home, but then it will soon go back to its peers in the Christmas tree forest. Doesn't that sound great? We are building that place in Leusden at the Adopt a Christmas Tree nursery, but we can't do that alone. By choosing a BeterBoompje, you are helping to build our dream. And when the forest is big enough, we can provide everyone with an adopted organic Christmas tree every year.

The new adoption plants that are being planted in Leusden at the Adopt a Christmas Tree nursery will ensure that more adoption trees will be available and we will solve the shortage. In 4 years, these cuts will be big enough to be adopted.

These are grown organically and with love. The cuts (and in a while, therefore, adoptive trees) in the BeterBoompje Christmas Tree Forest are grown organically and with love. In our forest, a healthy ecosystem is a priority; we focus on healthy soil and stimulate biodiversity. Read more about the process and care for our trees on the website of Adopt A Christmas Tree, our specialized partner.

In recent years, this Serbian spruce has become increasingly popular as a Christmas tree. It is a somewhat slimmer tree, but with nice full branches. The Picea Omorika therefore requires less space than, for example, the Nordmann, which is naturally much wider. With its hanging branches, it is also a very elegant tree. The needles are green at the top and blue at the bottom, making the Christmas tree look bluish. What's also nice is that the needles on this spruce are a bit less sharp and don't fall out as quickly. The tree is delivered without a net around it and with a plastic pot around the root ball.

OMG. The Nordmann is the most beautiful Christmas tree ever! Really. The Nordmann is rightly the most popular Christmas tree in the Netherlands. This is because of the beautiful shiny dark green needles. These needles are on sturdy branches, are soft and do not sting! The Nordmann is a wider, tougher Christmas tree with beautiful layers. Boom is delivered in a net and without a cross.

A BeterBoompje may cost a bit more than the disposable Christmas trees you're used to. Of course, this has a good reason. After all, our honest trees have a fair price. And because you just pay it nicely, nature doesn't have to do that. So friendly, isn't it? How do our prices come about? - BeterBoompje without a root ball For every BeterBoompje without a root ball, we plant two new spots back in the organic Christmas tree forest. In the coming years, all these Christmas trees will be sustainably maintained in a forest where a healthy ecosystem is a priority. In this way, the seedlings are prepared into full-fledged reusable bio-adoption trees that are replaced every year. - Better Tree with root ball With your contribution, we cover the costs of growing and maintaining the Christmas tree, transporting it back and forth to the Christmas tree forest and manually placing it back in the ground.

Your BeterBoompje will be the shining center of your room in the coming weeks. To ensure that your tree stays bright and that we can plant it back in January, we would like to give you a few care tips: 1. Is it cold? Let your BeterBoompje get used to the temperature in the shed first. 2. Leave the tree in the pot. If you want, place it all (straight) in another pot (with some extra soil). 3. Give your tree plenty of water every day. Close to the trunk and keep the soil/root ball moist. Tip for this tip: To check that the water reaches the bottom (and not the floor), you can place a saucer under the pot. 4. Don't put your tree right next to or on a heat source, you don't like it. 5. Do not cut out the top or branches; your tree is beautiful as it is. 6. Leave the angel hair and artificial snow in the closet this year...

The trees without a root ball are AA quality Nordmannen. Trees with roots have been specially grown in pots to survive replanting. We do our best to deliver the most beautiful trees, but a BeterBoompje remains a natural product and the rootball trees are unsprayed. That means that each Christmas tree is unique and perfectly capable of shining in your living room at Christmas. Throwing away trees is not an option, right? That's why all trees deserve a place to stay in December. [Also check out “our trees” for an impression of our BeterBoompjes.]

The Picea Omorika spruce has a plastic or coconut pot around the root ball, 30 cm high and 25-29 cm in diameter. The size of the tree includes this pot. This pot is reused after replanting.

Our trees have no official BIO characteristic, but are grown in an environmentally friendly way. In other words, no fertilizers, no pesticides and the plastic pot is reused. The new adoption plants that we plant are Skal certified.

You order your tree via “Delivery”. Choose “Home delivery with root ball”.
