Buy a live tree this season

Instead of killing a tree for the holidays, but a live one. Then replant in the spring and enjoy the live again. Now, you won't be able to get a 8 footer, but that is OK, Try a 3-4 footer.

Don't have a place to plant it? Ask a neighbor or relative. It might cost a bit more, but the fact that you can plant it and enjoy it year after year, will make all the difference.
