Hi, I just picked up a Christmas tree from Home depot--a Balsam Fir to be
exact. I was just wondering how to tell if the tree is fresh? We did
notice
a decent amount of needles that fell to the floor of the truck on the way
home, but I'm not sure if this is normal or not? Can someone tell me what
to
look for, so that I'll know whether or not to return the tree? Thanks.

May the Lorax bitch slap some sense into you.

You are the bad one.

Why? Commercial Christmas trees aren't part of an old-growth forest;
they're a crop. Might as well scold someone for buying roses or corn.
What is your objection?
