Want a Live Christmas Tree this year? After Ike there may be space in your yard

But I want a Real tree this year!!! With the visit from Hurricane Ike it may be a good time to look into a real live Christmas tree this year that you can enjoy year round and for many years to come. In that case Visit the Red Caboose Christmas Tree Farm in Montgomery County.

At the Red Caboose you can choose and cut your own trees but you can also get yourself a large Potted Leyland Cypress that you you can plant in your yard after the holidays. The prices for the Leyland's are so inexpensive compared to the size that you get when compared to purchasing one from a local garden center as a landscape tree that Scrooge himself would be proud.

For more information and a map to the Red Caboose click here.

Listen to what they tell you about caring for your tree while indoors and it will make a happy transition to your yard so you can enjoy it next year and for detailed information on the care of a Leyland Cypress click here. For the Arbor day Information Page on the Leyland.

Merry Christmas.
