Winter brings a new set of concerns for the trees on your property. Cold, snow and ice can damage them, and since they stay active underground, their root systems need protection and nourishment.
By now your cut live Christmas tree has done its duty. It’s time dispose of it responsibly before it becomes a fire hazard. And the responsible way to dispose of a tree is to recycle it.
