I guess they are grown on farms though just like other things we farm. However, we do use an artificial tree just because we're too lazy and don't like the falling needles.
We've had an artificial tree for 20 years. Amazingly, it still looks real good. I prefer real ones, but I really don't feel right about ripping a living thing from the ground and tossing it after only a few weeks. I'm no eco-nut, but that's the way I am. The good news is that, this year, it will remain in its bag (so we'll get at least one more year out of it). The turmoil around this place does not allow for a Christmas tree.
Very interesting. Thanks for this, Adam.
ReplyDeleteWe buy a real tree and afterwards it goes outside to be habitat for the birds.
ReplyDeleteSome people put in in ponds for the fish too.
Yes! Now we are just using a plastic christmad tree and it looks just fine:)
ReplyDeleteThat's why we used to use a plastic one.
ReplyDeletegood thing there are artificial versions

ReplyDeletehehehe..you know the norwegians always send you a christmas tree,but this year norway sent one from -china!!what do you think??hehehehe..kisskisss
ReplyDelete...and they are planted in ground in place of the other trees !
ReplyDeleteWe have a plastic Christmas tree since 15 years and it works perfectly!
Mine it isn´t natural. I use it again and again , every year.Kisses:)
ReplyDeleteAnd then, it gets chopped down, pity.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder my wallet is empty now. Did you say 15 years? And then I'll kill it off in less than a month? That can't be good.
ReplyDeleteOurs gets mulched after the holidays :)
ReplyDeleteI hate all the people who kill trees instead of using plastic ones!
ReplyDeleteDon't even have one here, so the cat saves one with his rhyming rear.
ReplyDeletethat's why I have a fake one!

ReplyDeleteWe used to have a fake one but one of our cats would be knocking it all over the place, so no tree now. I guess we're true conservationists ;)
ReplyDeleteWe have a fake tree we have used for many years.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteThat is a long time! We use a fake tree every year.
ReplyDeleteI hope people follow what you're trying to say here.
