Real or Fake?

Real. Alberta foothills, yearly tradition at this point. It's about 1.5 hours away so take the kids and make a day of it. Just another reason to get out.

Fake.

There are no good trees anwhere close to Texas. Im not paying someone to buy a tree they cut down. That seems way gayer then having a fake tree. Oh here is a tree I paid a real man to cut down.

It’s not gay if you put the tree condom on

death before fake trees. So glad i live in a place where I can get as many as I want for $10 a pop. I have three this year.

Real. Always

Tree hunting every year. We scout the pre-season and GPS mark the bruisers. Get up before the sunrise to catch them unaware. Dress in the field and mount in the living room. It's a fun family tradition.
....except sometimes I get distracted when hunting if I spy a good looking tree.

My takeaway, RS is full of fakes..... Surprising buch of hippie, tree hugger, commie reds.


Well, it is Texas, so it makes sense Texan boys would have to pay real men to cut their trees.

Sorry I didnt respond earlier I was in my swimming pool. Hows the winter? hahaha

Real all the way.

North Carolina is the 2nd largest producer of Christmas Trees in the country, and one of if not the only places in the country where the Fraser Fir grows naturally as they are native to the high elevation regions of the Southern Appalachians. Tree farms are a huge part of our agricultural economy down here.

I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday!

Yep. North Carolina's highest mountains look more like Canada as they are relics to the last Ice Age when northern plant species were pushed southward. The spruce-fir forests, including the Balsam Fir (which later developed into the Fraser Fir), are considered glacial relics, surviving on mountaintops as the climate warmed and the ice retreated. They are found in the wild typically above 5,000ft elevation. Fraser Firs have since become a big agricultural commodity in the high county regions of NC.

Also a fun fact, North Carolina Fraser's fir have been used more times as the White House Christmas tree than any other tree.

The more you know.

That's not what comes to mind at all when I imagine mountains in North Carolina. Maybe my wife is right, I may need to get out of Idaho more often.

Most people don't when they think of the Appalachian Mountains however due to the mountains being the highest east of the Rockies, the southern Apps around the Smoky Mountains, the Balsam Mountains, the Black Mountains and virtually all of the central Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, are the exception. Just a different biosphere altogether.
