I am clearing my apple orchard of a small number of young Douglas Firs. Instead of shredding them for mulch I will have them at the Solid Waste Recycling Centre on Saturday morning if you need a non-commercial, homegrown natural-looking cut-stem tree (various sizes from tiny to tall) for Christmas. First come, first served. A donation to Friends of Furries would be enthusiastically accepted if offered.
If anyone else is also clearing their garden of "volunteer" firs this week, bring them along on Saturday to display with mine. I will be shredding any leftovers later, but someone may want your fir tree for Christmas.
