We always opt for trees we can plant after Christmas. A stroll around our yard and you will see many of the Christmas trees we've planted through the years. A few of them didn't make it trough our brutal summers, but many of them did. One of our first trees was a white pine that we planted in 1983 in our front yard. That small tree is now about 50 feet tall.
But we've also had hemlock, cedar, spruce, and a bunch of leyland pines.
I shot a picture of one of the leyland's a few years ago when we got an early December snow. I call it Snow Cyprus.
Our blog buddy and good friend Grandpappy painted a beautiful watercolor of this photograph and sent it to us.Saturday, we'll put on Christmas music, unpack the ornaments, and decorate the tree. We'll have a little eggnog, eat some fruitcake, and bliss out in front of our tree.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Awwww it's lovely you plant up your Christmas trees!!! My Christmas tree (scottish spruce) was a foot long in a tub and now five years later is nearly 5 feet in a big big tub! LOL!!

So poetic!
ReplyDeleteAww right! Thats what I would love to do. Plant a tree and take it in for a few days and then take it out till next year. I hate to see a dying tree.So much nicer when it can celebrate with you every year. ;)
