Discarded Trees Can Be Put To Many Good Uses After Christmas Many people find they have a problem of disposing of their Christmas tree after it is taken down. There are a number of things that can be done with it. It can be put in the yard, if you live in a cold, snowy area, and from It you can hang suet, pieces of meat and dry bread for the birds. Or, you can cut off the long branches and plant them as wind breaks to protect outdoor plant ings. Teepees can be built around exposed shrubs and tender plants. This will protect them from wind and prevents snow and ice from accumulating and bending the plants out of shape. Whatever you do, don’t bum it in the fireplace, no matter how small it may be. A dry tree will bum with almost the speed and fury of film or cellophane, and is dangerous. If you live in the country throw them in ditches in the fields. They make excellent shelter for wildlife. San Francisco San Francesco’s first Christmas tree was made in 1850 from Doug las fir branches wired on a stick by a German wine shop proprietor.
