Housplant/"Christmas Tree" (OT?)
Wal-Mart (as well as other stores, I'm sure) is selling these little
live trees decorated for the holidays. They do so every year. I know that they're not really any standard type of "Christmas tree." They sort of look almost like some sort of fern -- a little. No leaves. They look more like they have "needles." Right now they're anywhere from one to three feet high. I doubt that they get much bigger. I'm wondering if any of you knows what these little trees are and what kind of care they need.(I remember I had one years ago and killed it.) Sorry I can't be more specific with the description. Thanks in advance. -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ http://www.intergnat.com/pussygames/ |

Thanks in advance. Does it look like these? http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Oc...photo11849.htm It's likely a Norfolk pine. They're very cute as tabletop 'Christmas' trees. My little Walmart baby tree grew into a lovely houseplant sized tree in a few years. My method of care for it can best be described as benevolent neglect. It likes a bit of sun and I watered it every week or so...when I remembered to. Norfolk pines, in tropical to sub-tropical environments, can grow to around 80 ft tall. They're really cute trees...

Thanks in advance. Probably a Norfolk Island pine. -- Chris: "Dad, what's a blowhole for?" Peter: "I'll tell you what it's NOT for and then you'll know why I can never go back to Sea World." |
