Thank you for encouraging “Living Christmas Trees†Scout.
Nora, a Norfolk Island Pine has been our indoor ‘Festive’ tree that becomes a red bow in December and wears it beautifully during the winter months.
Cheers! Christine

I believe cutting down pine trees are murder! Either potted X-mas tree or fake tree is the way to go! Fakes you can use every year.

You know a plastic tree is made out of oil and likely shipped from china with oil. It may be better than cutting down a tree but not better than planting one every year!!!

Up in the mountains in the east, fraser firs are big business. Tradition and habit have one standing in our living room this year (not my decision, but I didn’t object). I just had an idea today, though. When Christmas is over, I’ll take our Christmas tree (and neighbors’ trees) and inoculate them with mushrooms. Not exactly great, but at least it will help them decompose to reenrich the soil and give us something to eat.

Its been cold here in England–freezing. And generally it is wet damp cold. And old people really suffer with it. Now, if you say we don’t NEED energy. How would we keep warm in our climate?
