Why not try recycling your tree! Use your Christmas tree as mulch. Remove the branches with a handsaw, and layer them over perennial beds in a crisscrossing fashion. This will let air circulate while preventing the frozen ground from thawing and refreezing repeatedly, thus protecting young plants and their roots. | ||

Why are people still buying natural trees for Christmas and then wondering what to do with them? Nothing personal here. But there needs to be an education on composting, as Thedeadofnight suggested, if folks are going to go natural for Christmas. Chop up the tree and toss it into a compost pile in your backyard with other organic debris. Check out composting on the Internet. The Sierra Club might help. | ||

i usually prop it up against the tree with the bird feeders it provides shelter from wind and hawks for small birds and squirrels that eat seeds off the ground then about march-april I burn it with the rest of yard debris that occurs during the winter months but I live 30 miles outside detroit | ||

note: the city is collecting "holiday" trees. if yours is a Christmas tree, you're out of luck. |
