I usually cut 2 or 3 Norfolk Pine trees (about the top 5 feet) and tie them together all the way down, which makes one thick, bushy "tree" (the tops of the trees that I cut grow back). I also tie the tops together and stick a tree-top ornament on. Then I trim the tree's branch tips to make it in a Christmas tree shape. It makes a dark green and thick Christmas tree and doesn't dry out or die. I've also seen Ohia trees sprayed silver and decorated with red ornaments and they were beautiful though they were not shaped like traditional pine trees. Aloha~
