As the holiday season approaches, we eagerly anticipate the joy of decorating our homes with festive trees. But what if we could extend the life of these trees beyond the holiday season, transforming them into enduring symbols of sustainability and environmental consciousness? By carefully planting your Christmas tree after the holidays, you can create a living legacy that will beautify your landscape and provide a haven for wildlife for years to come.

Choosing the Right Tree

Everyone wants the Evergreen Tree, which looks like a “Christmas Tree, " the Colorado Spruce. However, other options do well in our landscape, such as Alberta Spruce, Baby Blue Spruce, Austrian Pine, or Vanderwolf Pine.

Preparing for Planting

Once you've selected your tree, start preparing it for its transition outdoors. After removing all decorations, gradually acclimatize the tree to outdoor temperatures by placing it in a sheltered location, such as a garage or porch, for a few days before planting.
