Question: We were thinking of using a live Christmas tree this year instead of cutting one down. After the New Year, we want to plant it in our yard. Is there anything we should know about how to do this?
Answer: There are several evergreen tree species that can be used as a Christmas tree. Pick a tree that is appropriate for your landscape in terms of size and growth requirements such as sun or shade and soil moisture needs. It doesn’t have to be a typical evergreen, so be creative. A maple or a palm would be just as good with the lights, decorations, and presents.
