Christmas tree tradition depends where you come from Petra.
In some countries they only use Fir (Abies sp), others use pinus sp. As both were scarce where I grew up in Victoria we always used a wild cherry (Exocarpus sp) as a christmas tree

Hi all
Thought about this last weekend and then had to work :-(

Today was at least fine outside when I got home so decided to dress up one for the festive season :-)
Tis a Juniper procumbens nana from cutting, that I have been growing as a full cascade now for a few years

Hope everyone will post their own efforts soon so we enjoy the trees
Be safe all the Christmas season everyone :-) :hooray:

Cmon everyone!
Get into the spirit and dress up a tree, Still a Few days yet till Santa comes.
Which reminds me, if you have little kids, they might want to watch Santa make his way around the world on the internet. NORAD ( North American Defense Network) Tracks his journey every year :-)
