Don't Buy Cut, Dead Christmas Trees

You wouldn't buy dead perennials from us, so why would you buy dead, cut Christmas Trees from street corner and empty lot vendors or "The Dead Tree Merchants"? These forest products companies cut trees by the tens-of-thousands at Christmas, at a time when the World needs more trees, not less.

Time to break with the traditional stupidity of cut, dead trees.

Think about it, isn't it silly when you can purchase a Live B&B (balled & burlapped) Tree, enjoy it for a week or more during the Holidays, and then plant it in your landscape and watch it grow and mature. By adding a new tree yearly, you've increased the value of your home at no extra cost over a dead, cut tree.

With a little forethought and preparation, which we can help you with, you and your family can experience the excitement that only a Live Tree can bring to the Holidays.

The world doesn't need more trees killed, the world needs more live trees. Cut, dead Christmas Trees ruin the earth, make unscrupulous people rich and do nothing for your landscape.

Ask for details the next time you're here and we'll help you prepare for a whole new tradition that your family and the Earth will thank you for. If you're online with the Internet, you can read an article of mine published and read by millions of people worldwide at http://www.dsiegel.com/diary/dec.11.96.html, that hopefully helped to change some traditional attitudes about Live Christmas trees vs cut, dead trees. Enjoy.
