Fortunately, it is just Jake and me. Since Jake likes tree's and anything else stationary I decided to buy one of those twinkling 2 footers and put it the living room nook. Same purpose, no cleanup and didn't have to kill any timber that did not deserve it in the first place.
When you have kids different story, but if I lived in Canada it would be have a fir in a plantar box and move it inside and out year after year. Can it be done up there?
I stopped buying tree's when it started costing me nearly three (3) figures to enjoy for three (3) weeks. Good investment if that tree has the capability of growing money,
