If you buy
a small fir tree in a pot, you can
easily keep it outdoors through the year and use it again the next and possibly
even a third Christmas. Especially if
you plant it over in a larger pot with fresh compost. But due to the initial
root damage - even if planted over in full ground - they eventually have a
limited life.
This is my
little tree - that I found after Christmas in 2013 - in 2014. Unfortunately at
repotting the Man cut off the lower branches a bit too rigorously, which didn’t
help to keep its shape. But still I had a real live tree for free.
It’s now
still alive, but during summer it lost a lot of needles on the inside. Dunging
helped growing new branches so it still looks ok from a distance, but I haven’t
put it in yet. Will decide after writing this post.
It was
perfect for photographing my crochet decorations though.
I hope to
find a new little firm one this year, then I will plant the old one somewhere
to give it as many more years as possible.
Merry
Christmas all!
