Virtues of a Natural Christmas Tree, Enhancing the Environment

Nothing like the virtues of a natural tree, enhancing the environment for a few years while it grows. 

Some growing wild and free like the trees that find their way into our home.

Others taking on a more cultured and well groomed lifestyle providing jobs for crews of high school kids and other laborers who depend on that hot hard work and the paycheck that it provides.
Both lifestyles of a future Christmas tree provide a little bit of natures beauty and carbon absorption while they grow.
Then for their most proud and exalted final act these celebrated trees find their ways into homes throughout the world where they provide beauty, great aromas, and a reminder of the wondrous event that we celebrate each Christmas season.

 

Many only make it in this staring role through the Advent season and make their exit on the first day of the Christmas season, while others make it all the way through the 12 or so days of Christmas and sing their swan song on the feast of the Epiphany.
Irregardless of when they make their exit, the lucky ones go on to a nice place near a new tree where they can be recycled back into nature to fertilize the next crop of lovely trees.

Morning Bob.

We have the 6th largest lakes in Arkansas.  The trees are recycled and used as shelter for the fish every year..

Good morning, Bob Crane I love a real tree....BUT, when you have a pellet stove they dry out quickly and what a mess with pine needles....

Good morning Bob. No natural tree for us in downtown Chicago. Recycling not a firm commitment here and the mess of a fresh tree is amazing. When we lived in Florida, straight to the shredder. Enjoy your day!

Hello Bob - ahh, the aroma of fresh trees.  Appealing all year-long and especially during this season.

Bob even though we have not had a real Christmas Tree for a few years now, I do love the smell and atmosphere it adds to the house.

Bob- we used to have a live Christmas tree but when our dog went blind, we opted for a smaller table tree that she couldn't knock over.

In our area many folks have turned to "renting" live trees for the holidays.
