- We decorated our Christmas tree today. This may be our last real tree. Each year it gets more difficult to justify. However, the demand for trees at the very least promotes the growing of trees (until they are cut down) and a small amount of carbon sequestration.

I did a few years ago, and planted it on the allotment. I then moved to the adjacent plot and the new holders of my old plot chopped it down.

In 2006 I joined the Arbor Tree Foundation in Nebraska City, Nebraska. The membership fee was $10.00. For membership they sent me 6 tree seedlings about 6’tall. I planted them and they all took root and began to grow. I have gifted 5 of them to friends who needed trees and kept one of them. It’s a honey locust, It’s now about 30 feet tall and admired by my neighbors who have be inspired to plant trees as well.

That is fantastic. I have planted a couple of trees in our small garden, one of them is a stunning silver birch.
