Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Does anyone know where to find a tree that is not sprayed/grown using conventional pesticides/fertilizers or weird dyes? I've called around and most places seem to use sprays of some kind. I know there are certified organic trees in other areas of the country and something called " naturally grown " which would suffice too. We are on the fence about whether to even get a tree if we can't find a clean one. Any ideas? Thanks, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Did you try Mother Earth Gardens on 42nd Ave in South Minneapolis? They've got trees, and they sell a lot of organic stuff, although I'm not sure that their trees are. It would be worth checking out.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 We bought our tree from Valley Natural Foods in Burnsville. No sprays or dyes used and they are $39. We just put ours up today and it looks beautiful!

Have a living Christmas Tree! That's what our family does, and we love it: a beautiful tree in the house year-round, decorated with lights and ornaments in December. Lovely. Norfolks are a tropical pine and come in all different sizes - they are also very easy to prune when they get too large. Our tree is 12 years old now, and 7 ft tall. I got it from my SIL 11 years ago, when it was knee-high. 100% organic, baby. ~ a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
