Making use of the Christmas tree after the decorations come down, besides just throwing it to the curb.
I planted cherry trees back in November. I got a Starkrimson Sweet Cherry and a North Star Pie Cherry from Stark Bro’s from my wife, Lisa, as a birthday present. Stark Bro’s posted a tip about recycling Christmas Trees as mulch. I figured, it was just as good as putting it on the curb for the city to turn into mulch with the trees and it would help me provide a little more protection from the cold for the new trees I planted. I live in Hardiness Zone7B and we are expecting a little colder than normal weather, including a couple days of snow this coming weekend. And, as the Stark Bro’s article points out, the pine needles will help break down the organic material I already placed down around the trees.
