I've had birds on the brain lately, so decided to decorate my little living tree with some fake birds and a popcorn string, with dried cranberries, something to gift to the birds after the season is done.
I killed my potted tree last year by letting it dry out, so this year I am trying out this neat trick, watering the tree with ice cubes. The cubes melt slowly, allowing more time for the water to penetrate the roots, and the coolness of the ice makes the tree feel like it is outside.
It is a Dwarf Albertan Spruce tree, so is ideal for containers, but will grow to 8ft if I plant it outside.
I hope to keep it alive for next year too...
It looks so sweet on my table
