Ah. but Sylvia, how would the seeds on the tree be fertilised? I'd need to travel to Norway - with the tree - and if it's female rub it up against a man tree! Could be a good excuse to go to Norway though! I've not made it past Sweden so far. |

Sylvia! Do not have a disposable tree! We have one, I can't remember the name of it but I think it's a Nordic fir or something like that. It lives in a tub at the top of the garden behind all the shrubs, we bring it in for Christmas, water it while its in the house and after Christmas goes back in the garden, then has a couple of feeds of fertiliser and just gets watered until the next year. Having said that I don't know what the hell we will do with it when it gets too big! |

I love the smell of a real Xmas tree. I don't mind the needles dropping out. Xmastime no work is done, but everything has to be shipshape for my birthday in January - fortunately after twelfth night! Sylvia xxx |

Normally we take it to a local site for shredding but last year we bought an artificial one. Trouble free and no gaps where you want to hang a bauble! Magsx |

Our local council here in Surrey are very much into recycling and all the Xmas trees are mulched and used in all the parks. Really good, and for six months we have a fortnightly garden waste collection. |

The trouble is that children, being children, love to burn Xmas trees and that is danger! Sylvia xxx |

Burning is bad surely! They're made into mulch around here too. Bonfire night should have been just after Christmas!! |

What do you do with your tree when Xmas is over? I think the councils have a good idea here. They give the children a sum of money for each tree they bring in. Children go from house to house collecting. The council then has a huge bonfire. This way saves children burning their own trees. Sylvia xxx |
