I’m tired of fake Christmas trees. Yet I also don’t like the needle drop from real cut Christmas trees. Do I have any other choices?
I can suggest two possible choices. The best choice is a live potted tree. The other choice is a freshly cut tree from one of our local Christmas tree farms.
Potted, living Christmas trees can be planted in your yard after Christmas as an added bonus. Some of the same trees sold as fresh Christmas trees are available as living potted trees from local full-service nurseries. Several varieties of fir trees including Noble, Grand, Frazier and Douglas are available in sizes of about 6 to 7 feet. Some potted pine and spruce trees are also suitable.
While their branches may not be as thick and perfect in shape, they will have a more natural look. Most of these tree varieties grow to 50 feet and taller when planted outside.
