We finished decorating our Norfolk Island Pine for Christmas and we've finally put away our artificial tree forever. We had to use very lightweight decorations. But other than that, it's very nice to have a living tree in the house. David/ :-)

No pecking the ornaments, Marco! :-)
2010 TREE
DECEMBER 2010 ~Since everyone in our extended family knows about my gardening interests, I am often given plants as gifts. I got a small Norfolk Island Pine last year and I told everyone this small plant was going to be our Christmas tree by next year. Everyone seemed to think I was joking. Well, 3 pot sizes later and about double the size later, here's the picture. It stays outside in the garden all year long until Christmas. If you are going to have a Norfolk Island Pine as a Christmas tree, buy very light ornaments. I use paper ornaments and small ribbons and bells. Wishing you the Happiest of Holidays
