Christmas Trees that Live on
After the Holidays
Since
many of us love Christmas trees and all things that
bring Christmas cheer, here’s a way to indulge
in your tree, without having to kill one. Swansons
Nursery along with the city of Seattle Parks Dept.
launched the "Trees
for Salmon" program in 1999, offering
live local native trees that you can take into your
home. Then after the holiday cheer has run its course,
the tree can live on in the ground at a Seattle area
park!
Living Christmas Tree
types:
For those who wish to celebrate their Christmas holiday
with a live tree, Swansons offers a superb selection
of trees from around the world. Once you are done
with the holidays, these beautiful trees are suitable
for containers, or planting in the ground, allowing
you the flexibility of enjoying these wonderful evergreen
trees up close in your yard, on a patio or deck.
Living Christmas trees planted in containers may be moved from
one area to another during the holiday season. However, because
most living trees used for Christmas trees are fast growing,
they should not remain in a container for more than two to
three years before replanting into a larger container and eventually
into the ground. Special care must be taken with living trees
to ensure their survival after the holidays. Please read our
Living Christmas
Tree instruction care sheet for more information.
