@ P.Price – That must be rough with allergies! I’ve heard some varieties are better, glad you found one that works.

I love this!

Unfortunately, we’ve got folks who are allergic to real trees (the sap, really). It’s bad enough here with the cedar (ash juniper) outside; even rougher to deal with trees inside, too.

So we have to go with artificial, alas.

I did grab a Norfolk pine this year, which for some reason doesn’t seem to cause problems chez nous.

@ Jenna – Glad it was useful. Our town collects trees to turn into mulch, which is pretty cool (and green!).

hilarious, as we were driving to cut our tree down at the tree farm just out of town, i was wondering if it was a “green” holiday practice. i decided that buying a local grown product, supporting a local business, etc. were better reasons that supporting a biz that sells the plastic kind. just need to find a “greener” way to dispose of it this year. i didn’t think about pesticides, and will check into this farms use of pesticides. thanks for the heads up!
