Here's our Christmas tree...
When I lived in New York City, we would put our trees out on the street when the holiday was over. It was fun to see the city sidewalks lined with trees, smelling like balsam. What would happen to the trees? Well, the city sanitation trucks would pick up the trees and chop them up for mulch. Or, at least, that's what we were told. I always felt good about recycling the trees.
In the South, there is different way of recycling trees, just as there is a different way of doing most things.
What are we doing with our Christmas tree? We have it sitting in our front lawn, ready to be taken over to our farm property so that we can dump it in our pond. Are we littering? Careless? Nope, quite the contrary. Apparently, a Christmas tree makes a wonderful habitat for...bream. And, if you Northern city slickers are reading this and have no idea what I'm talking about, bream is a kind of fish, fish that is very important if you want to keep bass in your pond.
