This may prove to be one of the dumbbest ideas i've ever had, given we live in a condo, but for the past couple of weeks i've been looking at the ridiculous prices of fake trees, and i'm not really into the idea of having a full sized live tree cut down, only to drag it up here, and subsequently drag it back down a few weeks later... then today i'm driving by a local plant and flower shop, and BAM... i see it - An Italian Stone Pine. Its maybe about 1.5 feet tall at the moment... a little small for a christmas tree (but then again we do live in a condo!) but I figure for the next few years if it grows as it should, and I prune it back once it starts to get to big, theoretically i have a "sustainable" christmas tree? I'm sure its not that simple, like the roots getting too big for the pot, etc... but what the heck, its worth a shot right? Anyway, our tree will be a small one this year, charliebrown-esque!
