This was our "Christmas Tree" last year.
It seemed to be done for so it was tossed out into the compost pile. Yesterday my daughter was adding more to our rather large pile and found that it was still alive. Now the question is what to do? Leave it alone and hope for the best. Maybe it will survive where it is but it does need to be out of the compost pile.
This is what it looked like when we got it last year.
Haven't put up lights or tree so far this year. We will see.
