Green choice for a Christmas tree

An interesting suggestion appeared in a letter to the editor, written by Carol Rawson, in The Toronto Star on Dec.6/07. She recommends this environmentally-friendly option—planting a living tree. Obtain a tree in a 10-gallon pot from a local plant nursery. Decorate it like any Christmas tree. Find out from the nursery how to winter the tree and nurture it until the spring when you can plant it in your back yard or somewhere else.
