What type of Tree

[hammer]

For those who put up a tree over the holidays, what type of Christmas tree do you get?

Used to have a fake tree but have gone with real trees for the past several years. Most of the time we get them from a "cut your own" local tree farm.

not many 'cut your own' here on Long Island, wish there was....we go to the local nursery on a weeknight, no one around and get a nice selection...Douglas Fir I think...

My family has had a tree farm for years.

Always real. I like the Blue Spruces.

We've been putting up a fake tree for various reasons. I think we're going to switch back to a real tree this year though. There's something not quite the same about a fake tree...

My family goes with green. Blue is too farkin sharp.

yeah, no needles everywhere...the watering...making sure you don't get one too early...the potential fire hazard..

We go for scotch....pines that is...scotch pines

Sure there is..you just have to drive east. We cut our own every year.

ok...i know there are, however we are booked everyweekend, so the only time we have to go is during the week at night.....would like to drive up into the mtns and cut one down with some snow on the ground then go for a burger and a pint....cutting it down on LI just doenst have the same appeal......

What do I choose if we do both?

The real one is in the living room, and the fake is by the stove so it doesnt dry out.

Real. We live in the woods. Do the math. :lol:

And because I'm usually the one dragging the damn thing out of the lot on the top end (my dad takes the trunk end, seniority thing) I'm always the one getting needles in my hands and up my ass, so it's all at my expense. Stupid things, I should burn them before they have a chance to get it in the house.
