You don’t have to celebrate Christmas to appreciate the beauty of conifers – or to decorate them for any holiday. That said, choosing a live Christmas tree furthers your eco-friendly goals, because you can move the tree outdoors to celebrate the new year. Most yards aren’t large enough to accommodate a full-size conifer, but there are smaller and truly petite evergreens on the market now, ideal for smaller spaces and even containers.
One example is dwarf Alberta spruce. Its dense conical shape isn’t the best for hanging ornaments, but drape your tree in some twinkly lights and bright weather-proof ribbon and see how it glows with holiday spirit!
