General Comment / Tip

Why not have a Christmas tree in a large plant pot and let it grow outdoors throughout the year, taking it inside when you need it, a living tree is extremely beneficial to the environment.

Real Christmas Trees can be replanted, if bought uncut with roots still on, or mulched by specialised contractors.  Look out for replanting schemes in your region.
