We created One Two Tree to provide a stylish alternative to traditional Christmas trees. We also created it to promote sustainability with our environmentally friendly products.

One Two Tree is proudly hand-crafted from Australian Hoop Pine plywood. Austral Plywoods from HQPlantations (HQP) sources our beautiful wood. They are a sustainable plantation in Queensland’s lush Mary Valley.

Wood products – including plywood – are a renewable resource that play a significant role in tackling climate change. Growing trees store carbon by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This carbon remains locked in the wood even when used for building products or furniture.

Hoop Pine (Araucaria Cunninghamii) is a native Australian specie. It’s generally a whitish or light-colour with a straight grain and fine to very fine texture. Plywood is often used in place of wood due to its resistance to cracking, shrinking, splitting, and twisting. It is also extremely strong! That means your One Two Tree can be re-used year after year without the wear and tear of a plastic tree.

HQP is independently certified under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) forest management standard and the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS). Both forest certification systems require HQP to meet internationally-accepted criteria for sustainable forest management covering economic, social, environmental and cultural perspectives.
