For decades, KKL-JNF has been growing trees especially for Christmas in its Eshtaol and Golani nurseries, where small saplings are carefully tended to until the trees have grown to their full size. The trees are Arizona cypresses (Cupressus arizonica), which have been grown to a height of 1.5-1.8 meters.
In addition to distribution to the general public, KKL-JNF distributes trees to different organizations, churches, and schools across the country to contribute to a festive and joyful holiday for Christians living in Israel.
The distributions are taking place in northern Israel in three locations: at the Shfaram nursery, Moshav Beit Lehem HaGlilit, and the KKL-JNF offices in Nazareth, and in central Israel at the KKL-JNF office compound in Givat Yeshayahu. The trees are available for a symbolic fee of 80 ILS.
