Last Thursday our Christmas tree was picked up by the grower again. Every year we get the same tree, delivered to our door in December, picked up again in January. We never saw the delivery or pick-up happen, so we joked it was actually done by Christmas elves. The grower puts it back in the soil for the year. This time we did see the pick-up. Turns out, elves or not, they wore the grower’s working outfits.

E and I talked about how long we’ve had this specific tree. (The previous one did not survive a drought period one summer).
My blog tells me we first had this one in 2022, so this was our fourth Christmas with this tree.

Last year we had a new ‘adopted’ Christmas tree, tree number 0525. After Christmas it was returned to the soil with the grower’s, so we could come collect it again this year. However the heat waves last summer have not been kind to 0525, and at the grower’s suggestion we came to have a look, finding it yellow and brownish.
We selected a replacement, labelled tree 4724. It will be delivered to our door next week. To be returned to the field early January.
