POTTED CHRISTMAS TREES

Consider this: Live Potted Christmas Trees! Yep, no tree farm, no PVC producing or even recylced PVC nonrenewable non-biodegradable resourced Christmas Tree choice. Live potted trees can be planted outdoors after Christmas. When you run out of room in the yard, you can check your parks department or schools to see if they will accept donated trees. If you went ahead and got a cut tree, you may find that the department of sanitation or public works wants your tree. These departments use recycled cut trees as 'fences' to prevent coastal erosion. They also turn them into mulch for other use. You can get a live potted Christmas tree at farmer's markets or Gardening Centers. If your concern is having a huge tree in the yard, look for dwarf varieties. Getting ready for planting, it is best to dig the hole in the back yard before the ground freezes, then surround the roots with much and stake it. With a fifty-fifty chance of surviving you can bring your last year's Christmas tree in from the back yard every year until it gets too big to be a Christmas Tree. It is best to keep the tree in the house no longer than ten days. If kept in it's pot and placed outside you will be able to bring it back in, pot and all, for next year's Christmas celebration.
