As we are on the last day of November we know many individuals are getting ready for the Holidays. We also know tree purchasing will be occurring this month. We thought we would find some interesting info about Christmas trees. If you do purchase a tree this year be sure to try to purchase your trees from local tree farmers! Support your community it's the best!
