Question A Living Christmas Tree? Or Good Christmas Tree Lot?

Does anyone know if anyone in Calgary selling potted Spruce trees to use as a Christmas tree?

Rona sold 6ft Colorado Blue Spruce trees last Christmas, but doesnt carry them this year. They were sold under the brand "Living Christmas Tree", and came with the root ball wrapped up and potted. Once Christmas was over, you move them outside then plant them outside. It was great, since I want more Spruce trees around the yard anyway. The best thing was that it was only $40 for a 6ft+ blue spruce.

Edit: I've been unable to find such a thing this year .... So, can anyone recommend a great Tree Lot in the NW, or in Cochrane? When we lived in the SW, we used the one on the Corner of Sarcee and Richmond Rd., and it was good. Those lots have been there forever... Anything similar in the NW or Cochrane?

If you find out can you let us know? This sounds like a great idea.

If you don't take care of it properly does it die and become a zombie christmas tree eating the brains of your children on Christmas morning?

Not in real life, but you should consider a career writing TV Christmas specials for children.

I thought it would be nice to write a sequel to the giving tree called the sodimizing tree, I think that would make a really bad kids book but a good adult book.

Especially if I throw in some cosplay and furry deaths.

If you're going to make a tasteless joke at least check your spelling.


I'm disappointed in you.

Witty bon mots leave no time for accuracy. Gotta strike while the iron is hot!!

Lowe's Crossiron has trees for 35% off, and a free project starter card for $20 off a $100 purchase.
