The trees came with a giant ball of burlap-wrapped roots, which were kept moist inside a galvanized metal washtub. After the New Year, the tree was planted in the back yard. It was kind of cool: a row of trees ranging from small to large, growing in the yard -- seven or eight of them, if I recall. I think if you're going to do the tree thing, that's the way to do it.)

I once left mine up with the vow not to take it down until the Niners lost a post-season game. They ended up winning the Superbowl that year and I eventually took it down in February. I think it was dead by then.
Go Niners! |

BTW...I tried the living tree one year. I planted it in our back yard after Christmas but I cut it down before it got too big. The cost of cutting a fully grown pine tree in the bay area can range from $500 to $1,000. Ho ho ho.
