Trees, please
I only bought a Christmas tree for the first time last year. I got it from the folks over by the Minuteman Trail, near Cameron Ave. It looked nice when I got it, but it seemed to dry out really quickly (like, the branches dried up, it wasn't just the needles falling) and it never drank much water, even though we got a slice cut off the bottom before we put it up. Does anyone know of a place around here that has typically had very good quality, fresh trees? Where would you all recommend I go this year?

I believe there are a couple lots in the area that are run by the Boy Scouts and I've good experiences with them, and I think the trees are a bit cheaper than Ricky's.

About the drying out, I use that stuff for extending flower 'life' - buy it along with the tree. Seems to keep the needles on for quick a long time.
