ed to say that if invasive species are hitchhiking that's a whole different story ... I thought the trees were clean.
but here's my original post.
well, another way to look at this is
these people in Oregon are farmers
it's a renewable resource
it helps their economy
what is so wrong with buying a "harvested" tree when we buy all sorts of harvested items. It makes the house smell great.
Why Oregon? They grow well there?
I decorated a live Cook Pine last year and it shredded my fingers ... no fun to decorate and form is not great.
Nonetheless I will do the Cook Pine again this year because I'm broke and don't want to buy a tree when I have a live tree.
But really, farmed trees are just like other farm products, aren't they?
