Dec 13 2021 - Christmas Trees

 

We're planning for next year's Fantasy of Trees and will need to buy some artificial trees.  We typically are able to get them from the big box stores at a reduced sale price if we buy all the leftover stock.  I wondered what happens to leftover stock and put my question into the google search engine with this answer:

"Many are chopped up, ground down and fed to plants and animals, according to Rocco Malanga, the owner of Cedar Grove Chrismas Trees in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. "On a commercial level, they become wood chips that are made into mulch," Malanga said. "That's very common. Aside from that, they go to farms for livestock."

As for artificial trees, there weren't any answers for what big box stores do with leftover stock.
 There are lots of questions about Christmas trees on goggle that made me think might be asked for immigrants experiencing Christmas in North America for the first time.


Q What plant looks like a Christmas tree?
A Norfolk Island pine trees (Araucaria heterophylla) are commonly used as those cute little houseplant Christmas trees that you can buy around the holidays, but then the holidays end and you are left with a seasonally dated, living plant.


Q What are the trees called that look like Christmas trees?
A Fir trees are a genus of the evergreen coniferous trees and are also a popular choice for the holiday season. The most popular fir trees used for Christmas include the noble fir, fraser fir and balsam fir.
