Lime washing trees goes back hundreds of years and possibly even into pagan times there are certainly records of trees being painted at Hampton court, and other great houses in the early 16th century.
"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
I think it's just a matter of preference. I like my plants 'as they come' - I don't like cut flowers or cut Christmas trees either (always feel sorry for them gasping for life) - it's probably just me! 😆
Just keeping them cosy B3 Not seen it yet - but I'm wondering if it's more exciting than the giant gooseberry grower last week Jules - Christmas trees are a valuable crop - like wheat, or potatoes or anything else. It's a massive, and much needed, industry up here in the north. Buy one and feel good that you're keeping someone in a job
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

and also so much better for the environment than an artificial tree ... it's a crop like any other ... harvest it, decorate it, shred it and use it as a mulch
