The Cut Christmas Tree
(Via gardenauthor)
Here they are, ready to unload... "all hands on deck!"
"Back it right up... just a few feet more!"
Suspended from the lathe house, where broadleaved evergreens are displayed throughout the growing season, these freshly-cut Christmas trees are easily viewed. Because they're hanging, choosing just the right tree is an almost hands-free experience.
Each has its charm, from the lightly sheared cut balsam to the exceptional quality of the premium cut balsams or Fraser firs.
Wandering through this pendulous "forest," savoring the pungency of balsam on the chilly breeze, one is immediately put in that holiday mood.
Look to local garden centers for the care and convenience at Christmas, that they provide the rest of the year. Make shopping for trees, greens, wreaths, ornaments and gifts a thoroughly enjoyable experience and eliminate some of the stops on your busy schedule.
