I did read something from the forestry lot that many of the trees are tops and the lowers are actually used, but I'm not sure how true that is.<br /><br />This year we had an oblesk balanced on an old lamp stand - and actually it did look nice. I'll recycle the oblesk in the garden!<br /><br />I do like the idea of a Norfolk Island Pine (Aurucaria hetrophylla)- delicate as they are - indoors all year they look good but need carefully balance light decorations.<br /><br />Small growing conifer might do it!

I don't need a photo to "see" the twisted pile of discarded conifers sacrificed to Christmas. I used to love picking out a tree each year and gave no real thought to it being discarded to the recycling, after all, it was being recycled. Now I use artificial trees, though I am wondering about buying a small slow growing conifer. My hesitation is, would I ever be able to find it a permanent home in the ground once it got too big for our little house?

I had a hurty knee for a few months once after an ungraceful descent from a chair-lift but I was (fortunately) never reduced to crutches...Must be very annoying. Really you should seek out pleasant experiences-- create a few more empty bottles maybe and get someone else to recycle them for you! xo Llinniewhttp://linniew.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
