JUST IN CASE YOU HADN'T HEARD!
2022 Sunrise Rotary Christmas Tree Sales

Sunrise Rotary have been providing Christmas trees to the Wagga community and the greater Riverina for almost 10 years. This came about after hearing that Legacy and the Vietnam veterans had stopped collecting the wild self-sown radiata trees found in the Murraguldry forest on the Tumbarumba Road.
Our Christmas trees are raised by another Rotary Club down on the Victorian border near Hume Weir using genetically modified seedstock developed in USA specifically to be grown into Christmas trees that exhibit both denseness and a good conical shape. The trees are regularly pruned to maintain optimal shape and density over a 4-to-5-year period.
We have short supply this year, as does the whole Eastern Seaboard, due to bushfire and drought, so we are very fortunate to have the number of trees that we have. This supply issue will be in place for at least this year and next year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where and when can I get a tree?
The trees are available from the Bunnings Car Park on the first and second Saturday in December from 8.00 am until sold out [last year they sold out within an hour]
Why buy a live tree?
Those of us as children who were brought up in the age when everyone had a live tree know the answer to this question, but for the benefit of a lot of parents today that only ever had a plastic tree a live tree gives off a fresh, beautiful natural scent that you will smell every time you enter the room. Selecting a live tree is a family affair where mum, dad and the kids [and sometimes grandparents] decide on the tree that is right for them. Having a live tree will provide memories of Christmas that will stay with the child for the rest of their life.
Finally, many of us now are making the conscious choice to move away from plastic and artificial goods and prefer to try and use natural products that minimise damage to the environment such as a live Christmas tree.
How do I look after a live tree?
If you haven`t had one of our trees before we will give you an information sheet which will outline in detail all you need to know about looking after your tree. We will also talk to you about setting up your tree to maximise enjoyment for you and your family.
How long will my tree live?
If you follow our set-up instructions and keep the water reservoir full so your live tree can constantly have a drink, your tree will survive for at least 4 weeks.
You can purchase purpose-built reservoirs from Bunnings a month before trees are available for sale, but your need to get in quick as they sell out the fixed quantity that they are given very quickly.
Cost of trees
Like everything at the moment the cost of the trees from our supplier is subject to price movements. We do our best to minimise price increases but unfortunately we have to pass on price increases reluctantly to our customers
What does Sunrise Rotary do with the profits from the sale of the Christmas trees?
We believe that Christmas is about giving, sharing and children. To that end the profits of the tree sales
. stay in the Wagga community
. are given to organisations that help families or children in our community
Over the last several years profits have been given to the Children’s Ward and the Special Care nursery in the Maternity Ward at Wagga Base Hospital as well as the Invermay family program where families who lose children are supported within the community by a specialist support organisation.
