(12,132 posts)I have been consistently outvoted for 27 years and counting.
Apparently my wife's vote counts twice. Maybe because she knows she'll be the one cleaning up needles.
but I really miss the smell.

We have very little room now so this table top tree is better than no tree at all.

(26,117 posts)Which is cute, especially when my 6' 200# 13 year-old acts like an excited little kid.
...though I do have to admit that I would live to have one of those vintage silver foil trees some day...

(we used a spray bottle the first year we had them, and they learned to avoid the tree very quickly).

The truck brought it in on its side late at night and left it to be erected in the morning.
.
Two very drunken friends of mine went out and quietly sawed off the top 6-8 feet
of the tree so they would have one.
.
They would have gotten away with it, but they dragged the tree throough thw snow,
leaving a 3-ft wide trail of very thick pine needles all the way from the tree THROUGH
their front door.

(8,217 posts)It was a youngish Douglas Fir in a pot.
Decided to keep it in the pot and maintain it regularly.
So it lives in the pot, not really gaining much in size. So it is about 3 feet tall with the pot.
It gets trimmed but it is alive.

(20,176 posts)except I did it with a full-sized tree in a 35-gal pot, it weighed a few hundred pounds and required a handtruck to move. Trim it, fertilize it, throw it in the backyard until next year.

(20,176 posts)I'm thinking I must be mad to consider doing it again.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
