Nothing warms your home during our frigid holiday season quite like a real Christmas tree ... as long as it's properly cared for.

In this episode, Don and John welcome Eric Baker of Baker Garden and Gift of Fargo, N.D. to hear all about choosing, caring for, and, yes, flocking Christmas trees.

(Did you know people really like black Christmas trees? We didn't either.)
