Real vs. Artificial Christmas Trees
One of the decisions to make is whether to buy a real tree or an artificial Christmas tree.
Real Christmas Trees
Real Christmas trees are biodegradable and have the convenience of easy setup and teardown. Because they are only good for one season, they do not require storage space and sometimes cost less than an artificial tree. If you decide to purchase a real Christmas tree, you should cut the stump of the tree about half an inch (1⁄2) or so and set it in cool water immediately. So it will loose a little bit of it’s height
Artificial Christmas Tree
