Question
I want to have a green Christmas this year and am looking for an alternative to the cut or plastic Christmas tree. Do you have any suggestions? Ideally I would like a potted bush/tree that I can leave outdoors all year and then bring in for the holidays.

Sloat carries a line of plants to be used as living Christmas trees. The most common type is the Alberta Spruce. It grows as a narrow cone. We also carry some smaller Spruce in 2 gallon and 5 gallon cans. You can choose from Blue Spruce or Norway spruce. These plants grow slowly, can stay in a container and will not lose their shape over the years. Pines are also available but they are hard to maintain year after year in a container. These you would want to plant outside. Rosemary and Ivy trained as cone shapes are also available. We have also seen people using Ficus benjamina trees for Christmas!
