The Forestry Act, 2014 provides for certain exemptions from obtaining a tree felling licence before felling or removing any tree or trees. 

S. 19(1)(d) states that any tree or trees, such as Christmas trees, planted and managed solely for their foliage or for decorative purposes are exempt from the requirement to obtain a tree felling licence.
