oldwomanc6 38 #5 December 14, 2011 If you have someplace to plant it after Christmas, consider buying a live tree w/rootball. It will last and not shed, and after you undecorate it, it will add to your yard's beauty (or your parent's or friend's). Or, If you have no place to plant one, then go to a tree farm and cut one yourself. It's a fun outing and at this point, it will be fresh until epiphany.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO the Grand Fir in a 6-7 is just the right height for any house, but is also the most aromatic of Xmas Trees. Runs about $50.00 in my neck of the woods.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
