I like it, too! :-)<br /><br />Thanks, Garden Lily! :-)<br /><br />Hi Nancy, Thanks, Nancy! We usually use an artificial, as well. This tree is the last one on our place that I'll be able to chop. I should take a photo of the remainder of the tree. It would be a good place to string popcorn for the birds! :-)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-58444350318948538082009-12-11T15:30:35.738-06:002009-12-11T15:30:35.738-06:00I think your tree is lovely!

It looks like it would be easy to decorate...we have to have an artificial tree because of my older daughter's allergies, and it's so hard to hang ornaments on.

And oak trees won't grow straight and tall if they don't have enough light.<br /><br />Rose, Thanks! I have an artificial tree, too. After a few years, it pays for itself... but I'm really enjoying this little fella! :-)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-25273189916527739122009-12-07T14:49:44.618-06:002009-12-07T14:49:44.618-06:00Your tree looks great, Shady, and I think this is ...Your tree looks great, Shady, and I think this is a really "green" solution to cut one from your own yard that needed to go, so to speak, anyway. I bought an artificial tree 10 or 12 years ago after years of real ones, which is a story in itself, but I miss the scent and the unique shapes of the real trees. <br /><br />I've seen those "Charlie Brown" trees MMD mentioned:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-54381354960681137232009-12-07T12:16:27.612-06:002009-12-07T12:16:27.612-06:00Really nice and practical too.

I really like it, too. :-)<br /><br />Hi Rosemary, Perhaps I'll have to start another tree somewhere... ;-) <br /><br />Are you German, Monica? Some of my husband's family are. They might approve, then? ;-)<br /><br />Hi Tatyana, Thanks for your visit today! I probably could attach more branches, but I think I'll leave it as it is. I like it. :-) ps There are a couple of little angels standing in front of the upper trunk (in the "bare" areas).<br /><br />Hi MMD! Thanks! Someone is selling Charlie Brown trees? I'll have to see if I can find it on-line... just to get a look. I love my tree, too. Too bad it's real (in that I won't be able to keep it!) ha. But those needles will provide some nice mulch for my acid loving plants later!!<br /><br />Thanks, Michelle. :-)<br /><br />Hi Kate. I have one of those "skinny" fake trees. I started a small collection of bird ornaments that hang on it all year. It's fun.<br /><br />Patsi, Thanks! The windows are facing West. The violets and (Christmas)cacti love it there!Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-12593232399521208932009-12-06T16:16:13.026-06:002009-12-06T16:16:13.026-06:00I like your tree.
