What is the name of Christmas plants in Australia?

Answer 1

Australians use a variety of Christmas trees.

• Pine trees from Christmas tree farms are sold at various places such as garden nurseries, or distributed by service organisations.
• Australians can also have fake Christmas trees which are made overseas.
• Some Australians opt for living Christmas trees which they keep from year to year until the tree gets too large for the pot. These may be various pines, or Norfolk Island pines, among others.
• Some Australians collect their own tree branch from bushland. Some of Australia's own native pines make effective Christmas trees. In bush towns and outback regions, many Australians are just as happy to drag home a decent gum tree branch. Eucalyptus Christmas trees are uniquely Australian.

Answer 2

Australia has no typical Christmas plants. Poinsettia, an introduced species, is becoming more common, but it by no means enjoys the popularity of overseas. Ausralians decorate a variety of artificial and real Christmas trees, and the real ones are usually pines, including the native Norfolk pine. However, Australians are just as likely to decorate a gum tree in their front yard as any other type of tree.
