My christmas tree has not yet made it to the burn pile.  I have been moving it around the front yard (standing it up, by shoving it into a snow bank) to test out how I might like a visual masse of something here, there, or the next place.  I know, your tree is probably long gone by now, or maybe you don’t have so much snow to work with, but maybe next year. I’m really learning a few things about my own preferences for my own garden – in the dead of winter, with a dead tree.
