Not the same thing here. Most nurseries are still open in winter. They may
sell house plants or even gifts and some have Christmas stuff, including
artificial, cut and live trees. The trend awhile back was to buy a live
tree, bring it into your house for the holidays then plant it outside. I've
bought a few of the little ones but stopped. Seems cruel to the tree because
I can't keep them alive in that little pot until time to plant.
