What is an Easter egg tree? The Ostereierbaum, German for Easter egg tree, is an ancient tradition in the countries of Germany, Austria, and other European nations.
It has also migrated to other parts of the world, such as the United States.
The exact origins of the Easter egg tree have been lost with the passage of time, but the egg has been, since antiquity, a symbol of life and fertility for many religions.
This is true of the ancient religions of Europe, which often incorporated plants in worship.

Easter egg trees consist of real or plastic eggs tied to the branches of living trees.
Not only are trees decorated in this way for the Easter holiday, but also for Christmas, May Day, and the summer solstice - all important dates to the ancient religions.
Any type of tree may be used. One famous tree, for example, called the "Saalfelder Ostereierbaum," is an apple tree. This tree has been decorated yearly since 1965. In recent years, it has held as many as 10,000 eggs. The eggs on this tree are real eggs from which the yolk and egg white has been removed. Bushes such as lilac are often used.
