This evergreen, often chosen for its distinctive blue-green needles, offers an alternative to traditionally cut holiday vegetation. Typically cultivated in a container, this living tree provides an option for those seeking a more sustainable and potentially longer-lasting festive decoration. Examples include the ‘globosa’ variety, known for its compact, rounded shape, making it suitable for smaller spaces.
The appeal of selecting a living tree lies in its environmental advantages. After the holiday season, it can be planted outdoors, contributing to carbon sequestration and providing habitat for wildlife. Furthermore, its presence brings a touch of natural beauty and seasonal cheer to interior spaces. Historically, the practice of bringing evergreens indoors dates back to ancient cultures, symbolizing enduring life and hope during the winter months.
