Monica Hudson, originally from Switzerland, had the idea to loan out Christmas trees in 2009. Now, her business, Rent A Christmas Tree, has about 1,000 trees growing for renters in certain parts of the San Francisco Bay Area and central coast.

Customers order their trees online, where they can pick their tree based on species, height and price. Then, the trees are delivered to their homes or businesses for a period of 30 days, after which they are picked up. This makes trees accessible to older people and business owners who don't have the capacity to install one themselves, Hudson said.
Very rarely is one of the rented trees stolen or killed. Only three have been swiped in 13 years of business, and those were largely due to customers leaving their trees in the wrong place to be picked up, Hudson said. Otherwise, about 2% of trees die each year of dehydration, despite people signing a waiver promising to water them each day. Hudson described it as a big loss, as the trees take a long time to grow: It can take about 10 years to cultivate a six-foot tree.
"Real Christmas Trees are a renewable, recyclable, natural product grown on farms throughout North America,""Fake Christmas Trees however are a non-renewable, non-biodegradable, plastic and metal product most often made in overseas factories."
