- Get a live tree, balled and bagged, and plant it somewhere.
- That's what our family has done for the years between me
- being born (1966) and 1990. Now, my mother has an artificial
- tree, my father has an artificial tree, and my sister has
- one as well.
-
- i think its a huge waste to cut down trees just to use as
- christmas trees, regardless of the "poor tree" argument,
- how about the " poor earth" argument?
-
- This year, my new husband and i will start a new tradition of
- getting a balled and bagged tree, and donating it to Keep
- Providence Beautiful
-
- Most balled and bagged trees are cheaper than quality cut trees,
- at least if you know where to go.
-
- Good luck.
