The incredible invention of the natural Christmas tree
who never loses his needles

"The Christmas tree in a pot (at € 0,93 per piece)"

After a few years of use,
when its size will be too big to hold in pots,
you can plant it definitively in a forest.

finally a really econological economy!


Merry Christmas ! ! !


I add the correct methodology.
1. Buy a Nordmann fir in a mound at 0,93 €
2. plant it in a pot of 50cm of diameter
3. Wait until he has the right size,
4.Use it when it has between 50cm and a little more than 1m of high
5. If he exceeds the meter check and think to replant if necessary
or change to a bigger pot.

The maximum size you can accommodate your potted tree will depend directly on the size of the pot. :-)

This is the truly econological method! !
That is to say "direction replanting in the ground"!

Otherwise the plastic does not lose its needles either ...


Some are even pre-decorated and snow-covered ... 100% made in China, full phthalates cf https://www.econologie.com/forums/le-plastiq ... 10117.html

ps: unmistakable my parents had tried, there are 15 years, the potted tree, well he held 2 years. He did not support the inner T °, ​​the thermal shock or the earth of the pot ... I'm not even sure he made 2 christmas ...

Friends have become used to buying a potted tree every year. After the holidays they plant it in a corner of their property. Now, they have a nice corner of forest of about thirty conifers. But hey, we must have the place.

Hi Cuicui
Yes!
a Nordmann fir tree in a mound,
not worth more than 0.93 Euro.

So a Christmas fir forest is worth 30 to 40 €
(At this price, Father Christmas is not a junk :-))

It hurts to see vigorous Christmas trees cut just for Christmas !!
It reminds me of memories of 40 years spent with a potted tree for the first child's birthday to 3ans, planted afterwards in our small apartment 20m2 garden at the time, but 25 years later it was huge for this little garden to the point of annoying the neighbors on the floors above and risk falling in the wind on the building !!
We had to shoot him down.
Fortunately, because the Christmas storm 1999 would have shot on the building !!

A 2-page dossier in the latest "60 million consumers" nuances the ecological benefit of potted trees, for them it's kif kif, extracts:

No, no!

Another bad idea. These fir trees are grown in high density, like artichokes or gooseberries ...

If we did nothing, the vast majority would die anyway on the spot, suffocated (in light) by the most vigorous. At the end, a few tens of thousands of shrubs per ha, there would remain only a few hundred, anyway ... A cultivated space would have given way to a forest (which extends already in France, while underutilized, both in timber and firewood).

Even our beautiful forests are "garden": thinnings to eliminate the less beautiful ones eexu or three times (every 10 or 15 years) ...

Argument therefore to be reserved for a few extreme decreases, who live on mushrooms and hunting, at a density of one inhabitant every 10 km² within an "original" nature in balance, preserved ...

I propose the bonsai tree!

Bonzai fir, not bad, but so must also mini gifts!



As for the culture, we have norman potted (the pot is semi in the field) a few hundred meters from us ... If it interests the world, I can do a photo report (but after please cast the snow ).

I am campaigning for a zen Christmas! No big balls, no big gifts, lots of serenity in the head and hearts ... And all in the long run ... durability ...

You have understood everything.

Well, it's better when the kids are grown up!
