I prefer Norwegean Spruce to Normann Fir anyway. Not that we're buying a real tree this yeas as we're away for Christmas. We normally do though.

Our fake tree has lasted over a decade. I really feel it may be time to retire it and get another one.
I don't really want a real tree. I feel the annual deforestation for Christmas is wasteful.

Because annual deforestation in general is okay? Mark

Although most trees are from sustainably managed plantations, I imagine the ecosystem in a forest of nothing but young Christmas trees is pretty naff.
I have a fake tree, as did my parents when I was little. I think I prefer them.
I didn't bother getting it out last year though, and possibly the year before... and maybe before that I can't remember. I bought it when there was a Mrs W009 more into such things. Well mostly she was into chocolate, but shiny baubles pleased her too.

What on earth is going on with trees and fungus this year? Ash trees and now fir trees.

International trading and monocultures are not a good combination. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

Yes I will get one, oops already have one. I will be putting it up early and because it does not shed I can leave it for the whole period without problems. _________________Do concentrate, 007...

We bought one with a root ball last year, planted it in a massive pot and had it indoors for the holidays. We took it outside after Christmas and it's done very well, growing loads over the year, I'm looking forward to bringing it back indoors this year and decorating it again  My family have had the same live Xmas tree year after year for almost the whole of my life! _________________The Official "Saucy Minx"  This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.
