uGuelph says bring a living tree home for Christmas
December 17, 2007
Environmental interest is inspiring a third option for your holiday tree. Rather than artificial trees, or throwing away a cut tree after the season, more and more Canadians are opting for a "living tree." A living holiday tree is balled and burlapped, or housed in a pot, and then easily replanted on your property after the holidays. uGuelph horticulturalists recommend the trend as another step we can take for the environment and also a nice annual tradition to plant the tree each year. Living trees should be housed in a shed or garage before coming into the home, to ease them into warmer temperatures.
