A Christmas Tree by Post - Gardenista
It was once believed widely (at least by members of my family) that babies came from storks and Christmas trees came from the YMCA.
This was where my brothers and I tagged along every year as my mother ruthlessly scrutinized every tree in the parking lot, seeking perfection.
These days, there’s a lot more choice and Christmas trees come from the Internet. For this holiday season, a tabletop Fraser fir comes in a pail, from Terrain.
Approximately three feet tall, the Tabletop Fraser Fir comes in a galvanized pail; $58.
Give the tree’s trunk a new cut so it will absorb water and stay fresh longer.
Named for 18th century Scottish botanist John Fraser, the fir gives off a light scent and has leaves that look like soft needles; they won’t scratch you when you hang an ornament.
